Oxygen evolution reaction is a critical bottleneck for the development of efficient electrochemical hydrogen production because of its sluggish reaction. Among various catalysts, transition metal-based layered double hydroxide has drawn significant attention due to their excellent catalytic properties and cost-effectiveness. This paper begins with basic crystal structures, and then conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism of layered double hydroxide. Strategies for enhancing catalytic properties based on adsorbate evolution mechanism and lattice oxygen mechanism that could surpass theoretical limit of adsorbate evolution mechanism are discussed. This paper ends with a brief discussion on the challenges and future directions of layered double hydroxide-based oxygen evolution reaction catalysts.

Electrochemical adsorption always was accompanied with solvent displacement and relative size factor(x) of adsorbate and solvent and hydrogen coverage(${\theta}$) on the lead anodic film electrode formed in phosphoric acid in NaCl solution and the sea water at $15{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ were studied by means of constant current-potential method and potentiodynamic cathodic polarization method. In this experiment, various constants and thermodynamic quantities calculated from the hydrogen coverage were also described to explain the reactivities of di-iso-butylnitrosoamine(DBNA) and proton ($H^+$) according to the changes of interactions between solute and solvent in the bulk phase and interphase. It was investigated that the average values of relative size factor and the coverage of hydrogen atoms studied with the electrode of lead anodic film formed in phosphoric acid solution in 60mM DBNA+0.5M NaCl and in 60mM DBNA+$6\%0$ sea water were about 11.0 and 0.2 respectively. Hydrogen evolution was electrochemical mechanism because of substitutional adsorption of aromatic substance with their delocalization of electrons, but in the case of non-charge transfer adsorption of aliphatic substance(DBNA) interacting relatively little with the electrode, it was combination mechanism.
