The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is considered as a major bottleneck of water splitting for hydrogen generation. It is highly desired to develop high performance OER catalysts in near-neutral operating environments because of mild corrosion and pollution. This review summarized the recent development of heterogeneous catalysts containing transition metals (TM) for the OER at near-neutral pH. Specifically, we focus on some effective strategies to achieve a high OER performance for TM (e.g., Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, Fe, and binary TM)-based catalysts in near-neutral media. The progress and perspectives are discussed, which might provide some insights into the rapid promotion of the electrocatalytic performance for future applications in hydrogen production.
析氧反应（OER）被认为是水分解制氢的主要瓶颈。由于腐蚀轻微且污染小，在近中性操作环境中开发高性能OER催化剂的需求十分迫切。本综述总结了近中性pH条件下用于OER的含过渡金属（TM）的多相催化剂的最新进展。具体而言，我们关注在近中性介质中实现基于TM（如Co、Mn、Ni、Cu、Fe及二元TM）的催化剂具有高OER性能的一些有效策略。文中讨论了进展与前景，这可能为未来制氢应用中电催化性能的快速提升提供一些见解。
