Earth-Abundant Metals as Catalysts for Hydrogen Production

Earth-Abundant Metals as Catalysts for Hydrogen Production

Guocai Tian

The development of highly active, low-cost, and durable earth rich metal oxidants is the key to achieving electro-catalytic and photo-catalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. For this purpose, hydrogen evolution catalysts such as transition metal elements, transition metal carbides, phosphides, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, oxides and hydroxides, and transition metal hybrid materials have been developed and achieved good results. In this chapter, we summarized and analyzed the research progress of using single elements, compounds, and complexes of transition metals, which are abundant on Earth, as catalysts in fields such as electrolysis and photolysis of water in recent years. We also discussed the existing problems and future development directions.
