Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is a highly promising approach for producing carbon–neutral hydrogen. The development of efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is crucial to lowering the energy barriers and enhancing hydrogen production. This drives the search for HER electrocatalysts that are not only cost-effective and abundant but also exhibit high activity and long-term stability. In this review, we provide an in-depth analysis of recent progress in the application of ruthenium phosphides as HER electrocatalysts, offering key insights into their design and performance. Meanwhile, we explore various strategies to enhance their catalytic efficiency, such as increasing the availability of active sites and optimizing their electronic structure. Finally, we outline the key challenges and future directions for developing the next generation of ruthenium phosphide-based HER electrocatalysts.
电化学水分裂是一种极有前途的生产碳中和氢的方法。开发用于氢进化反应(HER)的高效电催化剂对于降低能量障碍和提高氢气产量至关重要。这就促使人们寻找不仅成本低廉、资源丰富,而且具有高活性和长期稳定性的氢进化反应电催化剂。在这篇综述中,我们深入分析了磷化钌作为 HER 电催化剂的最新应用进展,对其设计和性能提出了重要见解。同时,我们探讨了提高其催化效率的各种策略,如增加活性位点的可用性和优化其电子结构。最后,我们概述了开发下一代基于磷化钌的 HER 电催化剂的主要挑战和未来方向。
