Recent advances in electrocatalysts for neutral and large-current-density water electrolysis

Yuanlin Xu et al.

Summary: Hydrogen as a clean energy resource is seen as a promising alternative to address energy crisis and environmental pollution. Electrochemical water splitting, including HER and OER, is essential for hydrogen production. Research focusing on developing electrocatalysts for water splitting in neutral conditions has been reviewed, with emphasis on understanding reaction mechanisms, rate-determining steps, and activity correlations. Single-atom catalysts show potential for high efficiency and activity, while three-dimensional freestanding electrodes are a growing trend for large-current-density operations. Challenges and future directions for neutral water electrolysis are discussed to guide the design of electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen production at scale.
