Support and Interface Effects in Water‐Splitting Electrocatalysts

Zhang, Jian, Zhang, Qiuyu, Feng, Xinliang·2019·Advanced Materials

Abstract

Water‐splitting electrolyzers that can convert electricity into storable hydrogen are a fascinating and scalable energy conversion technology for the utilization of renewable energies. To speed up the sluggish hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER), electrocatalysts are essential for reducing their kinetic energy barriers and eventually improving the energy conversion efficiency. As efficient strategies for modulating the binding ability of water‐splitting intermediates on electrocatalyst surface, the support effect and interface effect are drawing growing attention. Herein, some of the recent research progress on the support and interface effects in HER, OER, and overall water‐splitting electrocatalysts is highlighted. Specifically, the correlation between the electronic interaction of the constituent components and the electrocatalytic water‐splitting performance of electrocatalysts is profoundly discussed, with the aim of advancing the development of highly efficient water‐splitting electrocatalysts, which may eventually replace the noble‐metal‐based electrocatalysts and bring the practically widespread utilization of water‐splitting electrolyzers into a reality.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The support modulates the electron distribution and transfer for the loaded catalysts and therefore the HER kinetics.

    “In fact, the support modulates the electron distribution and transfer for the loaded catalysts18,19 and therefore the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) kinetics.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
