| Abstract Scope |
Hydrogen has been regarded as one promising alternative to displace current fossil energy resources by its high energy value and zero CO2 emission to address the increasing environment and energy crises. Especially, electrochemical water splitting hydrogen production is expected to be the most feasible approach with a good balance of cost and efficiency, in which electrocatalysts are the most critical component and govern the conversion cost and energy consumption. Therefore, the search of affordable catalysts with comparable catalytic performance to replace with the current expensive noble-metal-based catalysts in real water conditions is an urgent priority. In this presentation, inspired by the salient properties of 2D materials, surface chemistry of promising 2D metal oxide-based electrocatalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production through mechanism understandings and performance upgrades will be presented. It is expected that this presentation will provide some insights into designing low-cost but efficient non-noble-metal catalysts for reaching affordable green hydrogen energy. |
