The Comprehensive Understanding of as an Evaluation Parameter for Electrochemical Water Splitting

Open access
Wei, Chao, Xu, Zhichuan J.·2018·Small Methods

Abstract

Comparing the overpotential required to reach the current density of (per geometric area of an electrode) (η@) is a popular method of ranking electrocatalysts for water‐splitting reactions, i.e., the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, such methodology is, in essence, not reasonable for studying the intrinsic chemistry difference of electrocatalysts. To have a rational understanding of η@, here, its historical origin and its limitations on reflecting the intrinsic electrocatalytic activity are discussed. The η@ is a valid practical parameter to assess water‐splitting devices, but it cannot determine whether a particular electrocatalyst is intrinsically active or not.

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.
