Abstract
Abstract The electrocatalytic water‐splitting process is widely acknowledged as the most sustainable and environmentally friendly technology for hydrogen (H 2 ) production. However, its energy efficiency is significantly constrained by the kinetically slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode, which accounts for about 90% of the electrical energy consumption in the water‐splitting process. A new strategy is urgently needed to reduce its energy consumption. In recent years, electrochemical oxidation of small molecules has been considered for replacement of OER for efficient H 2 production, due to its benign operational conditions, low theoretical thermodynamic potential, high conversion efficiency and…
