Non‐noble electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is essential for water electrolysis and electrochemical conversion of CO 2 . Integrating electrochemical fixation of CO 2 and electrochemical metallurgy to prepare advanced OER electrocatalyst is a promising solution to promote carbon neutrality and renewable energy. Herein, the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 are combined in molten salts to prepare cathodic Fe 3 C‐based electrocatalyst and anodic oxygen at 600 °C with enhanced current efficiency. The resulting Fe 3 C‐based electrocatalyst outperforms precious electrocatalyst towards the OER operation in 1 M KOH due to a dynamic structural evolution to form an interface of Fe 3 C‐FeOOH.
