Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) supplies the protons and electrons needed to transform renewable electricity into chemicals and fuels. However, the OER is kinetically sluggish; it operates at significant rates only when the applied potential far exceeds the reversible voltage. The origin of this overpotential is hidden in a complex mechanism involving multiple electron transfers and chemical bond making/breaking steps. Our desire to improve catalytic performance has then made mechanistic studies of the OER an area of major scientific inquiry, though the complexity of the reaction has made understanding difficult. While historically, mechanistic studies have relied solely on experiment and phenomenological models, over the past twenty years ab initio simulation has been playing an increasingly important role in developing our understanding of the electrocatalytic OER and its reaction mechanisms. In this Review we cover advances in our mechanistic understanding of the OER, organized by increasing complexity in the way through which the OER is modeled. We begin with phenomenological models built using experimental data before reviewing early efforts to incorporate ab initio methods into mechanistic studies. We go on to cover how the assumptions in these early ab initio simulations─no electric field, electrolyte, or explicit kinetics─have been relaxed. Through comparison with experimental literature, we explore the veracity of these different assumptions. We summarize by discussing the most critical open challenges in developing models to understand the mechanisms of the OER.

Abstract
In this work, the interaction of the surface of γ-Al2O3(110) with NO and H2 was studied using density functional theory calculations. Free γ-Al2O3(110) adsorbs NO and binds H atoms, but repels the H2 molecule. A triplet of low-coordinated OII-AlIII-OII atoms provides the catalytic activity of γ-Al2O3(110) along the path: (i) the adsorption of NO/AlIII is followed by the binding of H2 to form a hydroxylamine derivative NHOH through an intermediate NO/AlIII + 2 × H/OII complex; (ii) recombination of NHOH with the release of N2 through an intermediate NHOH/AlIII + NHOH/AlIV or adsorption of NO followed by the release of N2O through the intermediate NHOH/AlIII + NO/AlIV; the pathway ends with the regeneration of γ-Al2O3(110). The calculated adsorption heats ensure the diffusion of H atoms from the deposited Pt to the surface (110), initiating the formation of the NH2/AlIII + H/OII complex, which releases NH3 endothermically and is stable enough to inhibit stage (ii) of the above reaction pathway. An excess of O2 in the NO + H2 mixture excludes H/Pt and eliminates inhibition. The formation of oxynitrides is suppressed, but not excluded by more exothermic surface processes. The N-doped conductivity of bulk and surface oxynitrides Al32O47N and the dependence of the heat of adsorption of H atoms on the band gap width were revealed, which suggests a relationship between the band gap width and catalytic activity.

Abstract
AbstractThe “Seven Pillars” of oxidation catalysis proposed by Robert K. Grasselli represent an early example of phenomenological descriptors in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Major advances in the theoretical description of catalytic reactions have been achieved in recent years and new catalysts are predicted today by using computational methods. To tackle the immense complexity of high-performance systems in reactions where selectivity is a major issue, analysis of scientific data by artificial intelligence and data science provides new opportunities for achieving improved understanding. Modern data analytics require data of highest quality and sufficient diversity. Existing data, however, frequently do not comply with these constraints. Therefore, new concepts of data generation and management are needed. Herein we present a basic approach in defining best practice procedures of measuring consistent data sets in heterogeneous catalysis using “handbooks”. Selective oxidation of short-chain alkanes over mixed metal oxide catalysts was selected as an example.

Abstract
Akaganeite (β-FeOOH) is a widely investigated candidate for photo(electro)catalysis, such as water splitting. Nevertheless, insights into understanding the surface reaction between water and β-FeOOH, in particular, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), are still insufficient. Herein, a set of first-principles calculations on pristine β-FeOOH and halogen-substituted β-FeOOH are applied to evaluate the HER performance through the computational hydrogen electrode model. The results show that the HER on β-FeOOH tends to occur at Fe sites on the (010) surface, and palladium and nickel are found to serve as excellent co-catalysts to boost the HER process, due to the remarkably reduced free energy change of hydrogen adsorption upon loading on the surface of β-FeOOH, demonstrating great potential for efficient water splitting.

Abstract
As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species. Despite the diverse structures and functions of these proteins, they share common mechanistic grounds. An open-shell transition metal like iron or copper is employed to interact with O2 and its derived intermediates such as hydrogen peroxide to afford a variety of metal-oxygen intermediates. These reactive intermediates, including metal-superoxo, -(hydro)peroxo, and high-valent metal-oxo species, are the basis for the various biological functions of O2-utilizing metalloproteins. Collectively, these processes are called oxygen activation. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of these reactive intermediates has come from the study of heme-containing proteins and related metalloporphyrin compounds. These studies not only have deepened our understanding of various functions of heme proteins, such as O2 storage and transport, degradation of reactive oxygen species, redox signaling, and biological oxygenation, etc., but also have driven the development of bioinorganic chemistry and biomimetic catalysis. In this review, we survey the range of O2 activation processes mediated by heme proteins and model compounds with a focus on recent progress in the characterization and reactivity of important iron-oxygen intermediates. Representative reactions initiated by these reactive intermediates as well as some context from prior decades will also be presented. We will discuss the fundamental mechanistic features of these transformations and delineate the underlying structural and electronic factors that contribute to the spectrum of reactivities that has been observed in nature as well as those that have been invented using these paradigms. Given the recent developments in biocatalysis for non-natural chemistries and the renaissance of radical chemistry in organic synthesis, we envision that new enzymatic and synthetic transformations will emerge based on the radical processes mediated by metalloproteins and their synthetic analogs.
