Abstract The generation of green hydrogen by water splitting is identified as a key strategic energy technology, and proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEMWE) one the desirable technologies for converting renewable sources into hydrogen. However, harsh anode environment PEMWE oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involving four‐electron transfer result in large overpotential, which limits overall efficiency production, thus efficient electrocatalysts are needed to overcome high overpotential slow kinetic process. In recent years, noble metal‐based (e.g., Ru/Ir‐based metal/oxide electrocatalysts) have received much attention due their unique catalytic properties, already become dominant acidic OER process applied commercial devices. these still face thorny problem conflicting performance cost. this review, first, metal briefly classified according forms existence, mechanisms outlined. Then, focus on summarizing improvement strategies with respect activity stability over years. Finally, challenges development prospects discussed.
