Principles of Designing Electrocatalyst to Boost Reactivity for Seawater Splitting
Abstract
Directly seawater electrolysis would be a transformative technology for large‐scale carbon‐neutral hydrogenproduction without relying on pure water. However, current seawater splitting is challenged by detrimental chlorine chemistry, the sluggish kinetics, and the existence of impurities/precipitates, making it more difficult than pure water splitting. So far, tremendous efforts have been made to develop electrocatalysts to boost the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities for seawater‐based electrolyzers. To get further insights into the current achievements and future perspectives of the catalysts for seawater electrolysis, general principles are summarized for a comprehensive optimization, ranging from active sites, electrochemical interface, to electron transfer path, to fully improve electrocatalytic performance for seawater electrolysis. Then, aiming at the different challenges of the cathode and anode for seawater electrolysis, unique strategies to design effective cathodic and anodic catalysts, such pH design criterion, selective HER/OER, and Cl − blocking layers, are discussed, respectively. Also, several future fields which are worthy for further exploration as rational extensions of developing electrocatalysts toward practical applications are put forward.

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.
