Description
Summary:The advancement of a sustainable and scalable catalyst for hydrogen production is crucial for the future of the hydrogen economy. Electrochemical water splitting stands out as a promising pathway for sustainable hydrogen production. However, the development of Pt‐free electrocatalysts that match the energy efficiency of Pt while remaining economical poses a significant challenge. This review addresses this challenge by highlighting latest breakthroughs in Pt‐free catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Specifically, we delve into the catalytic performance of various transition metal phosphides, metal carbides, metal sulphides, and metal nitrides toward HER. Our discussion emphasizes strategies for enhancing catalytic performance and explores the relationship between structural composition and the performance of different electrocatalysts. Through this comprehensive review, we aim to provide insights into the ongoing efforts to overcome barriers to scalable hydrogen production and pave the way for a sustainable hydrogen economy. The review discusses recent advancements in electrocatalysts as potential substitutes for platinum catalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It begins by outlining the fundamentals of HER and proceeds to analyze various transition metal phosphides, carbides, sulfides, and nitrides for their role in HER. Finally, it offers an insightful future perspective, identifying current challenges and future directions for designing platinum‐free electrocatalysts for HER.
