Atomically Thin 3d Transition Metal Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting

目前工业规模的制氢主要依靠高温蒸汽重整化石燃料，消耗大量的能源和化石资源，并排放大量的CO2。该项目旨在开发廉价和丰富的过渡金属基高性能水裂解电催化剂，实现经济可行的可再生电力驱动的大规模水电解制氢。一个理论指导的催化剂方法将用于指导高性能电催化剂的有效设计和开发。该项目的成功将为我国研制出一套高性能的水裂解电催化剂，实现水电解制氢技术的飞跃。

The current industrial-scale hydrogen productions are reliant on high temperature steam reforming fossil fuels, consuming large quantity of energy and fossil resources, and emitting huge amounts of CO2. This project aims to develop cheap and plentiful transition metal-based high performance water splitting electrocatalysts, enabling economically viable large-scale water electrolytic hydrogen production driven by renewable electricity. A theory-guided catalyst approach will be used to guide the efficient design and development of high performance electrocatalysts. The success of the project will lead to a suit of high performance water splitting electrocatalysts, leaping forward water electrolytic hydrogen production technology.
