Oxygen evolution is considered one of the most energy-intensive steps in water electrolysis and is therefore a key factor for more efficient green hydrogen production. Modeling of the reaction ...

Earth Oxygen on early Earth may have come from quartz crushed by earthquakes. Billions of years ago, crushed quartz reacting with water could have created the conditions needed for the evolution ...

The oxygen evolution reaction (or OER for short), is a critical step in the creation of sustainable, decarbonized fuels, such as hydrogen. Water (H 2 O) can be split into hydrogen (H 2) and oxygen (O ...

The oxygen evolution reaction is crucial to sustainable electro- and photo-electrochemical approaches to chemical energy production (for example, H2). Although mechanistic descriptions of the oxygen ...
