Hydroxide ion is a common electrolyte when electrode reactions take place in alkaline media. In the case of oxygen reduction reaction on Pt(111), we demonstrate by ab initio molecular dynamics calculations that the desorption of hydroxyl (OH*) from the electrode surface to form a solvated OH- is a cross-sphere process, with the OH* reactant in the inner sphere and the OH- product directly generated in the aqueous outer sphere. Such a mechanism is distinct from the typical inner sphere and outer sphere reactions. It is dictated by
