Possible Paths for the Oxygen-Evolution Reaction

Oxygen evolution is a more complex reaction than hydrogen evolution, involving the transfer of four electrons. The overall reaction in alkaline solution is [Pg.105]

40H-- 02 + 4eM + 2H20 whereas in neutral or acid solutions it is 6H20 02+4H30+ +4ew [Pg.105]

Let us write a mechanism (one of many possible) for this reaction. The first step would be charge transfer [Pg.105]

This could be followed by a further charge-transfer step, such as [Pg.105]

Followed, for example, by atom-atom recombination, to yield [Pg.105]
