Abstract
Abstract Extensive consumption of limited fossil fuel resources generates serious environmental problems, such as release of large amounts of the greenhouse gas CO 2 . It is, therefore, urgently necessary to look for alternative energy resources to meet increasing energy demands. Hydrogen is a clean, environmentally friendly, and sustainable energy source. Electrochemical water splitting is one of the cleanest and greenest technologies available for hydrogen production. Unfortunately, large‐scale water electrolysis is hindered by the high costs of catalysts, since noble metal‐based materials have been demonstrated to be the best catalysts (e.g., Pt for the cathode and Ru/Ir‐oxide for the anode catalyst).…
