Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the anodic reaction in the overall water

splitting process. The four electron-proton reaction is thermodynamically nonspontaneous

and kinetically slow. Hence, the need for an electrocatalyst is urgently

required to achieve faster kinetics for OER and to enhance the rate of overall watersplitting

reaction. The chapter discusses the fundamentals; which include mechanisms

of OER, the characteristic features as well as kinetic performance parameters of OER

electrocatalyst and advances in nano-electrocatalysis; which includes recent

developments in TMO based electrocatalyst, strategies for improving the performance

of an electrocatalyst; catalyst other than TMOs. The present discussion offers profound

insight and interest on catalysts in oxygen evolution reactions.

Keywords: Electrocatalyst, Nano-catalyst, Overpotential, Oxygen evolution reaction, Transition metal oxides, Water splitting process.
