Metal Boride‐Based Catalysts for Electrochemical Water‐Splitting: A Review

Abstract: Electrocatalytic water-splitting has gained a firm hold in the area of renewable hydrogen production owing to its integrative compatibility with intermittent energy sources. However, wide-scale implementation of this technology demands discovery of new electrode materials that strike a good balance between efficiency, stability, and cost. In the pool of inexpensive electrodes capable of catalyzing hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, metal borides/ borates have made a big splash in the last decade. However… Show more

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) of these transition metals have even surpassed the most active and stable IrO 2 and RuO 2 catalysts, largely due to their higher surface areas, but in turn suffer from poor conductivity. [8,9] In addition to these, compounds of transition metals in the form of phosphides, [10,11] sulfides, [12,13] borides, [14,15] selenides, [16,17] nitrides, [18,19] and carbides [20,21] have emerged as promising low-cost alternatives. In majority of the cases, these compounds are proposed to act as pre-catalysts that transform into reactive oxy-hydroxy (*OOH) species on the surface during OER, while still providing conducting pathways through the core.…”

“…Electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) is a parameter that measures the effective active sites on the catalyst surface. ECSA has a close relationship with the double‐layer capacitor formed between the electrode and electrolyte [5c] . The CV curves for Co−B 400 , Co−P and Co−B−P at increasing scan rates of 10–100 mV s −1 were illustrated in Figure S8.…”

“…However, the lack of practical electrode with high efficiency and low cost hinders the large‐scale application of this technology . Recently, transition metal boride (TMB) electrocatalysts have attracted intensive attentions because of earth abundance, low cost, easy fabrication and their sufficient activities to facilitate hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and/or oxygen evolution reaction (OER) …”
