“…Although noble metals, such as Pt, Au, Ag, Ru and Ir, are generally used as electrodes for OER, they have high cost and low stability in alkaline medium [10][11][12] . Therefore, there is a growing demand to replace these metals by alternative catalysts with low cost and similar performance 15,16,18 . Transition metal oxides, such as Ni, Co, V, Fe, as well as Sn oxides, present electrocatalytic properties, which make them attractive alternatives electrodes for several reactions, including OER 16 .…”
