Electrochemical Water Splitting: Bridging the Gaps Between Fundamental Research and Industrial Applications

Electrochemical water splitting represents one of the most promising technologies to produce green hydrogen, which can help to realize the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. While substantial efforts on a laboratory scale have been made for understanding fundamental catalysis and developing high‐performance electrocatalysts for the two half‐reactions involved in water electrocatalysis, much less attention has been paid to doing relevant research on a larger scale. For example, few such researches have been done on an industrial scale. Herein, we review the very recent endeavors to bridge the gaps between fundamental research and industrial applications for water electrolysis. We begin by introducing the…
