Abstract

Improving the kinetics of alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) is the key point for developing anion-exchange membrane fuel cells. Surface oxophilicity modification of catalysts has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for substantially accelerating the kinetics of alkaline HOR, while the mechanism of HOR and the influences of surface oxophilicity modification on the performance of catalysts is still unclear and under debate. Against this background, this review starts by discussing the HOR mechanism and the prevailing theories, including the hydrogen binding energy (HBE), bifunctional and some other theories. Next, the effects of surface oxophilicity on HOR activity are also emphasized, which include the regulation of HBE and hydroxyl binding energy (OHBE), weakening the binding strength of CO, and improving the antioxidation capability. Moreover, the applications of various electrocatalysts with high surface oxophilicity toward electrocatalytic HOR are also manifested. Lastly, the remaining controversies about the modification of surface oxophilicity and alkaline HOR mechanisms as well as the possible directions of this field are also outlined.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied. Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
