Abstract
Abstract This review highlights recent advancements in enhancing oxygen evolution reaction kinetics through the design of single‐atom catalysts. By leveraging the unique properties of single‐atom catalysts (SACs), including high atom utilization and tunable electronic structures, researchers have developed catalysts with superior activity and stability for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Key strategies for SACs design, such as support selection, coordination environment, and doping effects are discussed, while also examining the role of advanced characterization techniques in elucidating catalytic mechanisms. Finally, future directions and challenges in the field are outlined to guide the development of next‐generation OER catalysts.
