Direct electrolytic splitting of seawater for the production H2 using ocean energy is a promising technology that can help achieve carbon neutrality. However, owing to high concentrations chlorine ions in seawater, evolution reaction always competes with oxygen (OER) at anode, and chloride corrosion occurs on both anode cathode. Thus, effective electrocatalysts selectivity toward OER excellent resistance should be developed. In this critical review, we focus prospects state-of-the-art metal-oxide electrocatalysts, including noble metal oxides, non-noble oxides their compounds, spinel- perovskite-type splitting. We elucidate chemical properties, selectivity, outstanding anti-chlorine-corrosion performance, mechanisms. particular, review operate current densities, near industrial application levels, based special catalyst design strategies.
