Can anyone explain me if oxidation takes place on the anode or the
cathode and how? Where is the oxygen gas?

By definition, LEO and REDCAT - Loss of Electrons is Oxidation,
REDuction at the CAThode. That is true for batteries, electrolysis

Oxygen per se has nothing to do with oxidation. Superoxide can
function as a reducing agent.
