We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the influence of surface orientation and transformation on the OER activity of Ni-terminated (001), (110) and (111) oriented LaNiO3 films, epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 substrates via pulsed laser deposition and characterized by AFM and XRD, as well as Hall measurements of the electrical conductivity. Cyclic voltammetry shows the lowest overpotential for (111) and the highest for (001), and gives indication for the formation of a surface oxyhydroxide(-like) skin layer, supported by EXAFS measurements. Based on density functional theory calculations with an on site Hubbard U, we explored different models for the transformed surfaces and find a strong sensitivity of the OER activity on interlayer H concentration and number of oxyhydroxide layers with distinct behavior of the two surface orientations.
