 The efficiency with which renewable fuels and feedstocks are synthesized from electrical sources is limited at present by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in pH-neutral media. Here, we took the view that generating transition metal sites with high valence at low applied bias should improve the activity of neutral OER catalysts. Using density functional theory, we find that the formation energy of desired Ni<

  sites is systematically modulated by incorporating judicious combinations of Co, Fe and non-metal phosphorus. Here we synthesized NiCoFeP oxyhydroxides and probed their oxidation kinetics by employing in situ soft X-ray absorption (sXAS). In situ sXAS studies of neutral-pH OER catalysts indicate ready promotion of Ni<
