Lattice-oxygen redox is pivotal for high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. Here, LiNiO2, a unary 3d-transition metal oxide catalyst, exhibits superefficient activity during the OER due to the creation of double O 2p holes states, according to operando XAS, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy observations.
