Perspective of hydrogen energy and recent progress in electrocatalytic water splitting

Yixuan Gong et al.

Summary: Hydrogen energy, as a secondary energy source with great commercial potential, has been extensively studied. Electrocatalytic water splitting hydrogen production, with its mild reaction conditions, high-purity hydrogen generation, and sustainable production process, stands out among other hydrogen production methods.
