Amorphous nanomaterials in electrocatalytic water splitting

Electrochemical water splitting, as a promising method for hydrogen production, has attracted significant attention. However, the lack of an electrocatalyst with small energy loss and fast reaction kinetics hindered development this technology. Amorphous nanomaterials short-range order long-range disorder features have recently shown superior activity compared to their crystalline counterparts in electrolysis. The enhanced arising from intrinsic disordered structure results more active sites higher such sites. In regard, review is aimed at summarizing progress amorphous electrocatalysts splitting. First, synthesis strategies are discussed. Characterization tools then summarized. Moreover, origin stability analyzed. Finally, current challenges opportunities research area This aims provide guide designing developing fascinating electrocatalytic splitting performance.
