合理开发地球含量丰富金属的分子配合物用于电催化制氢

Rational development of molecular earth-abundant metal complexes for electrocatalytic hydrogen production

基于公共健康和环境保护的原因,迫切需要用清洁和可再生能源取代传统的化石燃料.电化学水分解生产清洁的氢有望成为解决上述问题的可行方案.本综述介绍了用于在水或水/有机介质中电催化制氢的、基于地球上金属含量丰富的分子络合物的合理设计.着重讨论了催化性能中的结构-功能关系,有助于设计未来的配体和催化剂.

For public health and environmental protection reasons,there is an urgent need to replace traditional fossil fuels with clean and renewable sources.Electrochemical splitting of water has the potential to produce clean hydrogen as a possible solution to global energy problems.This review article introduces the rational design of molecular metal complexes based on earth-abundant metals for electrocatalytic hydrogen production in water or water-organic media.Emphasis is placed on providing insight into structure-function relationships in catalytic properties for future ligand and catalyst design.
