Delving into the Depths of Electrochemistry: Unveiling the Distinction between ORR and OER
In the captivating realm of electrochemistry, two fundamental processes reign supreme: the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). These reactions play pivotal roles in various electrochemical devices, including fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and water electrolyzers. While both ORR and OER involve the exchange of electrons between oxygen and an electrode, they differ significantly in their nature, mechanisms, and applications.
