ELECTROCATALYSTS FOR WATER ELECTROLYSIS

The review paper accumulates the latest information on the analysis of catalyst synthesis for the electrolysis of water in alkaline and partially in acidic media. Literature data on the production of electro-catalysts based on noble, refractory, transition and pure metals, as well as metals doped with molybdenum, phosphorus, and other elements, are presented. Given the different methods of synthesis of electro-catalyst, the advantage of the electrochemical method is emphasized as easy, accessible method enabling to regulate the composition of synthesized electrodes by changing the content of an electrolyte and the conditions of electrolysis, controlling the properties of synthesized materials.
