Fluoridation has recently been found to be significant in the fabrication of oxygen evolution reaction catalysts due to its influence on structure transformation, surface engineering, electronic state tuning, and the easy formation and exposure of active phases. Herein, we summarize recent advances in this area, including catalyst fabrication and performance in the water-splitting reaction. The catalysts are classified into transition metal fluorides, fluorine-doped and oxyfluoride compounds. All the fluorine-containing catalysts are reported to be efficient for active phase formation because of the increased strength of ionic bonds and the exposure of active sites caused by the fluorine etching effect. The problems and challenges of this approach are also discussed, and it is hoped that this review will be helpful to the scientific community.

由于氟对结构转变，表面工程，电子状态调节以及活性相的容易形成和暴露的影响，最近发现氟在氧释放反应催化剂的制造中很重要。在此，我们总结了该领域的最新进展，包括催化剂的制备和水分解反应的性能。催化剂分为过渡金属氟化物，氟掺杂和氟氧化物。据报道，所有的含氟催化剂对于形成活性相都是有效的，这是由于离子键的强度增加以及由氟蚀刻作用引起的活性位的暴露。还讨论了这种方法的问题和挑战，并希望这次审查对科学界有所帮助。
