Abstract

Abstract:

Hydrogen energy is an ideal energy carrier to promote the transformation of energy structure, and water electrolysis is an important means to achieve large scale hydrogen production. Alkaline water electrolysis has commercial feasibility because of its mature technology, low cost and small pollution. The catalytic activity, stability and cost of catalysts are the key factors in the development of alkaline water electrolysis technology. Herein, the research progress of catalysts for alkaline hydrogen evolution, including noble metals, transition metals, and carbon-based materials, is summarized. This paper analyzes the influence of the currently applied major optimization strategies on catalyst intrinsic activity, and the results show that the improvement of catalyst performance benefits from the comprehensive regulation and control of various factors, such as morphology, electronic orbit, lattice structure and support. According to the existing issues, the future research direction and development prospect of hydrogen evolution catalyst are proposed from the aspects of preparation technology, catalyst morphology and structure, and optimization of intrinsic properties.

Key words: electrolysis, hydrogen evolution, catalyst, alkaline, transition metal, reaction kinetics
