A critical review on transition metal phosphide based catalyst for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction: Gibbs free energy, composition, stability, and true identity of active site

Kousik Bhunia et al.

Summary: The current global demand for green H2 from water necessitates the use of an efficient and robust catalyst to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transition metal phosphide (TMP) based catalysts have emerged as viable alternatives to state-of-the-art Pt/C catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, further investigation is needed to assess the recent development and progress of TMP-based catalysts for HER, in order to encourage the development of efficient, robust, and durable catalysts. This review provides an overview of the recent research progress on TMPs for electrochemical HER, including nanostructure synthesis, integration with support materials, and hybrid structure synthesis. The review also discusses the fundamental aspects of HER kinetics, the effect of composition and pH on different types of TMPs, and the need for pre and post-analysis to evaluate the true identity of active sites and the durability of TMPs.
