In article number 1805104 , Shiming Zhou, Jie Zeng, and co‐workers develop pyrochlore‐type iridate oxides R 2 Ir 2 O 7 (R = rare‐earth‐metal ions) as highly active and stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts for acidic water oxidation, overwhelmingly superior to the benchmark IrO 2 nanoparticles. The increase of the ionic radius of the R species strengthens hybridization between the Ir 5d and O 2p orbitals, which is responsible for the high OER activity.
