Abstract

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER), one of the semi-reactions of water electrolysis, is expected to play an important role in the conversion and storage of energy in the future. The sluggish four-electron transfer reaction has become the primary bottleneck of electrochemical water splitting, which can be significantly alleviated with the development of low-cost and durable OER catalysts, fortunately. Carbon-based composite nanomaterials can function well in alkaline environments because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties, low cost, high abundance, and large surface area. This chapter discusses recent breakthroughs in carbon-based OER electrocatalysts, mainly including metal-free catalysts, atomically dispersed metallic carbon, metal-encapsulated carbon nanoparticles, and carbon nanoparticles supported by metal nanoparticles. The knowledge offered in this chapter can be used to rationally design OER carbon-based composite nanomaterial catalysts, which may help shed light on the future of carbon-based OER development.
