In article number 1800019 Anthony P. O'Mullane and co‐workers demonstrate a rapid approach to converting iron ore into a catalytically active material for the oxygen evolution reaction. This involves electrochemically forming a thin shell of nickel‐oxyhydroxide around the iron ore particles. These findings offer a route to value add to an abundant resource that could be used for clean production of hydrogen fuel via water electrolysis.
