Surface and interface engineering of noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for efficient overall water splitting

Xu, Hui, Shang, Hongyuan, Wang, Cheng, Du, Yukou·2020·Coordination Chemistry Reviews

Abstract

Abstract Developing highly efficient overall water splitting (OWS) electrocatalysts based on noble-metal-free materials to produce fuel is stimulated by increasing concerns regarding global energy security and environment contamination. Tremendous accomplishments in the design and fabrication of non-noble metal counterpart to substitute the noble metal catalysts for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and OWS are boosting the development of clean hydrogen fuel production. Recent researches and advances reveal that the surface and interface atomic engineering can readily induce novel physiochemical properties, such as more surface active sites, electronic effect, and strong synergistic effect, offering new and efficient avenues toward largely promoted electrocatalytic performance. In this review, we focus on the recent progress in designing and constructing high-performance non-noble metal catalysts for efficient OER, HER, and OWS through surface and interface engineering. A few of surface and interface effects have been highlighted to account for the influence of electrocatalytic properties observed in catalysts. And a series of the surface and interface engineering strategies have been utilized in non-noble metal counterparts design, including traditional chemical method (e.g. wet-chemical, hydrothermal/annealing), deposition (chemical/electrochemical deposition), and in-situ electrochemical oxidation strategy. The rational design of noble-metal-free counterparts with excellent electrocatalytic performance based on surface and interface engineering could realize improved electrocatalysis, offering a deep understanding of structure–activity relationships.

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.
