Abstract
Amorphous polymetallic oxides containing MoS<italic>x</italic> and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> are proposed to enhance OER performance due to the acceleration of the *OH → *O + *H by MoS<italic>x</italic>, optimization of *OOH deprotonation by sulfate, polymetallic interaction and abundant oxygen vacancies.
