Hydrogen energy is regarded as an auspicious future substitute to replace fossil fuels, due to its environmentally friendly characteristics and high energy density. In the pursuit of clean hydrogen production, there has been a significant focus on the advancement of effective electrocatalysts for the process of water splitting. Although noble metals like Pt, Ru, Pd and Ir are superb electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), they have limitations for large-scale applications, mainly high cost and low abundance. As a result, non-precious transition metals have emerged as promising candidates to replace their more expensive counterparts in various applications. This review focuses on recently developed transition metal phosphides (TMPs) electrocatalysts for the HER in alkaline media due to the cooperative effect between the phosphorus and transition metals. Finally, we discuss the challenges of TMPs for HER.
氢能因其环境友好特性和高能量密度,被视为未来替代化石燃料的理想选择。在追求清洁制氢的过程中,人们高度关注用于水分解过程的高效电催化剂的研发。尽管像Pt、Ru、Pd和Ir等贵金属是析氢反应(HER)的优良电催化剂,但它们在大规模应用中存在局限性,主要是成本高和储量低。因此,非贵金属过渡金属已成为在各种应用中替代更昂贵同类金属的有前景的候选材料。由于磷与过渡金属之间的协同效应,本综述聚焦于最近开发的用于碱性介质中析氢反应的过渡金属磷化物(TMPs)电催化剂。最后,我们讨论了TMPs用于析氢反应面临的挑战。
