Abstract

Abstract Redox couple oxidation as an initial step of water oxidation may be key for high electricity consumption in the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Here, a heat‐induced magnetic transition strategy is reported to speed up the oxidation kinetics of redox couples. The activation energy of Ni2+/Ni3+ redox couple oxidation is sharply decreased by heating the Ni0.67Fe0.33OxHy catalyst above a Curie temperature (Tc) of 70 °C. In such a strategy, heat instead of electricity drives the spin flipping of Ni2+/Ni3+ oxidation through heat‐sensitive ferri‐to‐paramagnetic spin state changes. As a result of magnetic transition‐assisted efficient heat‐electricity coupling, Ni0.67Fe0.33OxHy exhibits the lowest OER overpotential of 221 mV at 100 mA cm−2 at 90 °C in alkaline electrolytes, outperforming the benchmark IrO2 catalyst. The findings provide new insights into the design of efficient heat–electricity complementary OER devices.
