Surface and near-surface engineering design of transition metal catalysts for promoting water splitting

Abstract

Transition metal catalysts are widely used in the field of hydrogen production via water electrolysis. The surface state and near-surface environment of the catalysts greatly affect the efficiency of hydrogen...

Fabrication of superaerophobic Ru-doped c-CoSe2 for efficient hydrogen production

“…7 To minimize the overpotential and decrease the electricity cost, it is highly desirable to develop efficient HER electrocatalysts. 8–12 Although Pt-based catalysts are endowed with superior HER catalytic activity, the scarcity and high price of Pt hinder their large-scale industrial application. 13…”
