Mass production of green hydrogen water electrolysis requires advancements in the performance of electrocatalysts, especially for the oxygen evolution reaction. In this feature article, we highlight how epitaxial nickelates act as model systems to identify atomic-level composition-structure-property-activity relationships, capture dynamic changes under operating conditions, and reveal reaction and failure mechanisms. These insights guide advanced electrocatalyst design with tailored functionality and superior performance. We conclude with an outlook for future developments characterization and multilayer electrocatalyst design.
