Abstract Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis technology plays a significant role in overcoming the challenges of intermittent rene-wable energy utilization and reducing carbon emissions. Due to the harsh reaction conditions and the slow four-electron transfer process involved in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), precious metal iridium (Ir), with its exceptional corrosion resistance, has become an ideal choice for acidic water electrolysis. However, the scarcityand high cost of Ir resources severely restrict their commercialization and large-scale application. Therefore, rational design and efficient preparation of Ir-based catalysts are crucial for hydrogen production via water electrolysis. This review introduced recent advances in Ir-based catalysts for hydrogen production in acidic media, focusing on three synthesis strategies:the synthesis of Ir-based catalysts with special morphologies, the alloying strategy of Ir with other metals, and the modification strategy of iridium oxide. Additionally, it outlined future directions for the development of PEM water electrolysis OER Ir-based catalysts in terms of material modification. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research findings, this work can provide a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for future investigations.
