Electrochemical Hydrogen Production Coupling with the Upgrading of Organic and Inorganic Chemicals

Abstract Electrocatalytic water splitting powered by renewable energy is a green and sustainable method for producing high‐purity H 2 . However, in conventional water electrolysis, the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involves a four‐electron transfer process with inherently sluggish kinetics, which severely limits the overall efficiency of water splitting. Recently, replacing OER with thermodynamically favorable oxidation reactions, coupled with the hydrogen evolution reaction, has garnered significant attention and achieved remarkable progress. This strategy not only offers a promising route for energy‐saving H₂ production but also enables the simultaneous synthesis of high‐value‐added products or the…
