Precious-metal-free catalysts for water oxidation commonly suffer from low stability in acidic electrolytes. Now, by controlling the intergrowth of the γ-MnO2 structure, it has been possible to achieve 2 A cm−2 at 2 V and a stability of over 1,000 hours at 200 mA cm−2 in a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser.
