Progress and prospects of ruthenium-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction
Ruthenium is a promising metal to replace platinum because it has similar hydrogen evolution reactions(HER)catalytic activity to that of platinum and costs roughly half as much.Developing efficient,dependable,and economically feasible ruthenium-based HER electrocatalysts is a good way to build a society driven by hydrogen.The mechanism of HER is introduced in this review,the four most recent design strategies for ruthenium-based HER electrocatalysts are summarized,and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities toward developing advanced Ru-based HER electrocatalysts are also highlighted.
