Abstract
Hydrogen production through water electrolysis is a promising pathway to advance green energy technologies. The efficiency of cost-effective nanoscale electrocatalysts has been extensively studied over the past three decades, leading to significant advancements in catalytic nanostructure materials. Oxyhydroxide (OxH) electrocatalysts have gained attention for their robust performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions. This review explores recent developments in transition-metal-based HER and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts, including alloys, phosphates, oxides, hydroxides, and oxyhydroxides. Emphasis is placed on structural design, controlled synthesis, and performance enhancement strategies, providing insights into the mechanisms of water splitting. The study also discusses advancements in self-supported electrodes and highlights the applications, challenges, and potential of OxH-based materials for efficient energy production. By addressing global energy demands and environmental concerns, this work contributes to the development of hierarchical OxH nanostructures, offering a foundation for future water-splitting technologies.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
