Abstract Overall water splitting (OWS) to produce hydrogen has attracted large attention in recent years due its ecological‐friendliness and sustainability. However, the efficiency of OWS been forced by sluggish kinetics four‐electron oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The replacement OER alternative electrooxidation small molecules with more thermodynamically favorable potentials may fundamentally break limitation achieve production low energy consumption, which also be accompanied value‐added chemicals than or electrochemical degradation pollutants. This review critically assesses latest discoveries coupled various OWS, including alcohols, aldehydes, amides, urea, hydrazine, etc. Emphasis is placed on corresponding electrocatalyst design related mechanisms (e.g., dual hydrogenation N–N bond breaking hydrazine C═N regulation urea inhibit hazardous NCO − NO productions, etc.), along emerging reactions (electrooxidation tetrazoles, furazans, iodide, quinolines, ascorbic acid, sterol, trimethylamine, etc.). Some new decoupled electrolysis self‐powered systems are discussed detail. Finally, potential challenges prospects highlighted aid future research directions.
