Recent achievements in noble metal-based oxide electrocatalysts for water splitting

Production from water electrolysis is severely limited by the slow kinetics of the anodic oxygen evolution reaction and large intrinsic overpotentials at the anode; therefore, suitable catalysts need to be found to accelerate the reaction rate. Noble metal-based oxide electrocatalysts retain the advantages of abundant active sites, high electrical conductivity of noble metals, and low cost, which make them promising electrocatalysts; however, they suffer from the challenge of an imbalance between catalytic activity and stability. This review presents recent research progress in noble metals and their oxides as electrocatalysts. In this review, two half-reactions (the hydrogen evolution reaction and the oxygen…
