Although the presence of iron in mixed metal oxide based catalysts has shown significant performance improvement in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), iron oxides themselves demonstrate much poorer activity. In this study, we investigate improving the performance of iron catalysts via surface decoration with gold or platinum for not only the OER but also the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) for overall water splitting in an alkaline electrolyte. Two types of iron catalysts were synthesised, iron nanocubes and iron oxide via electrochemical deposition met
