In contrast to the previous assumption that manganese (hydr)oxides, in absence of other metal ions, exhibit high overpotentials for catalyzing oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) under neutral conditions, this study uncovers a more nuanced behavior. We demonstrate layered oxides, when treated with carboxylate groups, OER activity at Mn(III) Mn(IV) oxidation peak following charge accumulation. Upon addition poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), transition occurs lower potential. While current density remains modest, is observed an extraordinarily low overpotential just 20 mV phosphate buffer solution. present detailed mechanistic proposal low-overpotential regime, focusing on and surrounding environment. Oxygen measurements reveal applied potential 1.25 V, turnover frequency (TOF) increases from 2.6 × 10–2 s–1 prior PAA treatment 4.7 post-treatment. However, Tafel slope 384.76 mV/decade before 414.30 after treatment. The reduction attributed complex interaction between process accumulation, mirroring key mechanisms natural systems such as OEC photosystem II (PSII). This interplay likely facilitates system, highlighting relevance these bioinspired processes designing efficient electrocatalysts OER. These findings provide important insights development highly robust water splitting, significant implications future energy conversion storage technologies. By emulating Mn redox PSII, our work paves way design effective catalysts operate minimal loss, advancing sustainable solutions.
