Electrochemical gas
evolution reactions are of vital importance
in numerous electrochemical processes including water splitting, chloralkaline
process, and fuel cells. During gas evolution reactions, gas bubbles
are vigorously and constantly forming and influencing these processes.
In the past few decades, extensive studies have been performed to
understand the evolution of gas bubbles, elucidate the mechanisms
of how gas bubbles impact gas evolution reactions, and exploit new
bubble-based strategies to improve the efficiency of gas evolution
reactions. In this feature article, we summarize the classical theories
as well as recent advancements in this field and provide an outlook
on future research topics.
