Abstrakt: Water splitting has emerged as a promising route for generating hydrogen as an alternative to conventional production methods. Finding affordable and scalable catalysts for the anodic half-reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), could help with its industrial widespread implementation. Iron-containing Ni-based catalysts have a competitive performance for the use in commercial alkaline electrolyzers. Due to the complexity of studying the catalysts at working conditions, the active phase and the role that iron exerts in conjunction with Ni are still a matter of investigation. Here, we study this topic with NiO(001) and Ni 0.75 Fe 0.25 O x (001) thin film model electrocatalysts employing surface-sensitive techniques. We show that iron constrains the growth of the oxyhydroxide phase formed on top of the Ni or NiFe oxide, which is considered the active phase for the OER. Besides, operando Raman and grazing incidence X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments reveal that the presence of iron affects both, the disorder level of the active phase and the oxidative charge around Ni during OER. The observed compositional, structural, and electronic properties of each system have been correlated with their electrochemical performance.
