The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key reaction involved in water splitting and has attracted increasing attention for hydrogen generation for clean energy uses. Nickel/iron (NiFe)-based compounds have been known as active OER catalysts for decades, and there has been increasing interest in developing NiFe-based materials for higher activity and stability.

Reflection Anisotropy Spectroscopy (RAS) in the visible spectral range is a polarisation sensitive optical spectroscopy technique used to study morphological and electronic structure changes of surfaces and thin films in-situ. It achieves high sensitivities in the detection of ultrathin layer structures down to the sub-nanometer scale and can follow the optical changes of the surface during catalytic reactions. By combining in-situ RAS and cyclic voltammetry (CV), the changes in both the redox state and structural phase during OER activity of NiFe alloys can be optically tracked.
