Abstract Electrochemical water splitting represents a promising technology for green hydrogen production. To design advanced electrocatalysts, it is crucial to identify their active sites and interpret the relationship between structures performance. Materials extensively studied as electrocatalysts include noble‐metal‐based (e.g., Ru, Ir, Pt) non‐noble‐metal‐based 3d transition metals) compounds. Recently, advancements in characterization techniques theoretical calculations have revealed novel unusual sites. The present review highlights latest achievements discovery identification of various unconventional electrochemical splitting, with focus on state‐of‐the‐art strategies determining true establishing structure–activity relationships. Furthermore, we discuss remaining challenges future perspectives development next‐generation By presenting fresh perspective reaction involved this aims provide valuable guidance study industrial applications. image

Metal defect engineering is a highly effective strategy for addressing the prevalent high overpotential issues associated with transition metal oxides functioning as dual-function commercial oxygen reduction reaction/oxygen evolution reaction catalysts increasing their activity and stability. However, formation energy of defects poses challenge to development strategies precisely control selectivity during formation. Here, density functional theory calculations are used demonstrate that altering pathway releases atoms chlorides, which effectively reduces defects. The on monometallic oxide surface (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) selectively produced using chlorine plasma. characterization reveal catalytic enhanced owing electronic delocalization induced by defects, theoretical overpotential. Notably, ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, ex situ XPS, in ATR-SEIRAS suggest improve adsorption reactive species active sites enhance efficiency product desorption, thereby boosting performance.
