Understanding the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) mechanisms is critical to the design of future electrocatalysts for fuel cells, electrolyzers, and metal–air batteries. As parts of the effort to elucidate the reaction mechanisms, we report the influence of th...
