Mechanistic inights on the WO mechanism. a Rate law plots of the water oxidation current density versus the concentration of MOOH(++) states for FeOOH (orange), Ni(Fe)OOH and FeOOHNiOOH (green). bd Simple schematic representations of the water oxidation process based on the experimental observations herein for (b) FeOOH, (c) Ni(Fe)OOH and (d) FeOOHNiOOH. Further details of shorter-lived intermediates are beyond the focus of this study. Colour code: FeOOH(0) corresponding to reduced defect states in FeOOH (yellow spheres); FeOOH(+) (orange spheres); FeOOH(++) (red spheres); NiOOH(0) corresponding to Ni(OH)2 (purple spheres); NiOOH(+) corresponding to NiOOH (green spheres); NiOOH(++) (blue spheres)
