Understanding the catalysis mechanism of sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involved in water splitting is vital importance for development clean hydrogen energy. Earth-abundant transition-metal (oxy)hydroxide with low cost and high performance one most promising OER catalysts. These catalysts often dynamically heterogeneously transform from inactive pre-catalysts into active phases under operation conditions, thus, operando/in situ method needed direct observation.
