Oxygen Evolution Reaction
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is an important electro-chemical reaction used to generate oxygen from water molecules. This reaction occurs when an electric current is passed through a water solution containing an electrolyte. The OER is of great significance to the environment, as it provides a method of generating clean, renewable energy. It can also be used in applications such as water treatment, wastewater management, power-to-gas and hydrogen production. Furthermore, its use in fuel cells can help to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels.
