Abstract

Developing high-efficiency and strong stability hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts is the critical and promising part of reducing the catalytic energy barrier and improving the efficiency of hydrogen production. For designing prominent HER electrocatalysts, challenges remain in creating large number of effective catalytic sites for HER while maintaining their robustness at high output volumes. Therefore, the development of effective anchoring of catalytic active sites on low-cost, highly conductive carbon carriers to effectively promote metal catalytic performance through strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) is a well-established strategy that has been widely investigated. Carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted extensive attention as a promising class of HER catalysts for green sustainable energy conversion and beyond, due to their low-cost, diverse forms and highly tunable electronic structures. Herein, a summary of the advanced research progress of various types of carbon-based catalysts has been discussed, mainly including the metal-free carbon-based nanomaterials, atomically dispersed metal carbon-based materials, metal nanoparticles supported carbon-based materials, and metal nanoparticles encapsulated carbon-based materials. Finally, some notable challenges and prospects that are instructive for the design and development of next-generation high-performance carbon-based electrocatalysts have been discussed.
