Key activity descriptors of nickel-iron oxygen evolution electrocatalysts in the presence of alkali metal cations

It is commonly accepted that electrolyte alkali metal cations modify the catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction. Here the authors challenge this assumption, showing that the activity is actually affected by a change in the electrolyte pH rather than a specific alkali cation.
