Abstract: | The development of catalysts with enhanced activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared to the traditionally used metal oxide catalysts is crucial for further commercialization of electrolyzers. Because of their high surface area and adjustable pore structure, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts represent a promising alternative. During the OER in alkaline media, the initial MOF structure is susceptible to transformations including the decomposition of the organic backbone and/or the formation of oxide, hydroxide and oxyhydroxide intermediates. Hence, operando characterizations of MOF catalysts during OER are essential to understand the material's progressive changes and extract the OER catalytic mechanism. This article discusses existing operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of MOF(-derived) catalysts during OER and extracts important parameters for future research regarding operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy characterizations of MOFs during alkaline electrolysis. |
