Heterogeneous electrocatalysis goes chemical

Despite over a century of research to understand heterogeneous electrocatalysis, the precise mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Now, it is proposed that the oxygen evolution

reaction on IrO_x_ is driven by changes in the redox state of the Ir–O active sites, rather than by changes in the interfacial electric field. Access through your institution Buy or
