Abstract Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a cornerstone of various electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems, including water splitting, CO 2 /N reduction, reversible fuel cells, rechargeable metal‐air batteries. OER typically proceeds through three primary mechanisms: adsorbate mechanism (AEM), lattice oxygen oxidation (LOM), oxide path (OPM). Unlike AEM LOM, the OPM via direct oxygen–oxygen radical coupling that can bypass linear scaling relationships intermediates in avoid catalyst structural collapse thereby enabling enhanced catalytic activity stability. Despite its unique advantage, electrocatalysts drive remain nascent are increasingly recognized as critical. This review discusses recent advances OPM‐based electrocatalysts. It starts by analyzing mechanisms guide design Then, several types novel materials, atomic ensembles, metal oxides, perovskite molecular complexes, highlighted. Afterward, operando characterization techniques used to monitor dynamic active sites examined. The concludes discussing research directions advance toward practical applications.
