Recent developments on iron and nickel-based transition metal nitrides for overall water splitting: A critical review

Mariam Batool et al.

Summary: Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) have emerged as efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and overall water splitting (OWS) due to their noble metal-like structure, high electric conductivity, corrosion resistance, broad pH stability and structural flexibility. Iron and nickel based TMNs, in particular, have been considered as ideal electrocatalysts due to their abundance, low cost and high catalytic activity. However, their single phase structures have shown unsatisfactory performance, leading to the development of advanced heterostructures by doping other metals, metallic compounds, and conductive substrates to enhance catalytic performance. In this review, recent advancements and challenges in Fe and Ni-based TMNs for electrochemical water splitting are highlighted.
