Introduction The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) presents a critical challenge for achieving energy-efficient water-based electrolysis, which is essential for the generation of hydrogen and other solar fuels. In proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE), the use of precious metals has typically been required for stable catalysis of this reaction. This work demonstrates that the delamination of cobalt tungstate significantly boosts activity and durability by stabilising oxide and water-hydroxide networks within lattice defects in an acidic environment. The resulting catalysts achieve reduced overpotentials, reaching a current density of 1.8 amperes per square centimetre at 2 volts. They also maintain stable operation up to 1 ampere per square centimetre in a PEMWE system under industrial conditions (80°C) at 1.77 volts, representing a threefold improvement in activity and sustained operation at 1 ampere per square centimetre for over 600 hours.
