Using external magnetic fields to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on magnetic catalysts prompts questions. While spin-polarization in a single magnetic domain was theorized to facilitate triplet dioxygen production, the origin of enhancement remains unknown. Our findings clarify the source of OER improvement under magnetization and explain pH-dependent enhancement, filling a crucial gap in understanding magnetic field-enhanced OER.
