Atomically Thin 3d Transition Metal Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting

目前工业规模的制氢依赖于高温蒸汽重整化石燃料，消耗大量的能源和化石资源，排放大量的二氧化碳。该项目旨在开发廉价且丰富的过渡金属基高性能水分解电催化剂，使可再生电力驱动的大规模水电解制氢在经济上可行。理论指导催化剂方法将用于指导高效设计和开发高性能电催化剂。该项目的成功将催生一套高性能的水裂解电催化剂，使水电解制氢技术跨越式发展。

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.
