Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution at positive potentials

Abstract

Hydrogen prodn. using earth abundant metals is one of the important challenges facing an energy economy based upon solar fuels. Schemes that incorporate the photo-oxidn. of water must also include schemes for efficiently converting released protons and electrons into viable fuel sources such as hydrogen. In this talk mol. approaches to hydrogen prodn. will be discussed with a particular emphasis on systems that function at mild overpotentials.
