Water oxidation catalysis is central to many energy storage technologies. The “Up-and-Coming” Perspective by Boettcher and coworkers discusses new advances in understanding oxygen electrocatalysis on nickel−iron oxyhydroxides, highlighting the essential role of the iron sites, the electrical conductivity under active conditions, and the chemical stability. The cover
