Improving OER rates remains a critical challenge in the field of electrocatalysis. Ongoing research efforts focus on developing advanced catalysts, understanding complex reaction mechanisms, and optimizing material properties to enhance OER kinetics. The integration of in situ/operando characterization techniques has provided valuable insights into catalytic mechanisms, guiding future research directions . As the field progresses, addressing challenges such as catalyst stability, cost-effectiveness, and scalability will be crucial for the widespread implementation of OER-based technologies in renewable energy systems. Here, we propose a thermodynamically engineered system for the optimization of the rate limiting reaction to enhance the yield rate to an enhanced non-sluggish OER mechanism.
