we used them to explore the atomistic mechanism of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is triggered once the applied potential exceeds the overpotential required for water oxidation and oxygen ...

Another benefit of this method is the ultra-low overpotential (the additional energy required to speed up the reaction) for this catalyst geometry when compared with traditional OER catalysts.
