Abstract in brief

This study introduces a new type of metal-free hydrogel made from polyacrylate that acts as an effective electrocatalyst for water oxidation, showing performance comparable to traditional IrO catalysts in alkaline solutions.
The research reveals that the positive carbon atoms in the hydrogel's carboxylate groups are key active sites for the oxygen evolution reaction, supported by theoretical and experimental data.
The polymeric hydrogel demonstrates high durability, good performance across different pH levels, and potential for broader applications, expanding the possibilities for metal-free catalysts in water splitting.]
