Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Bi site doped Ferroelectric BiFe0.95Mn0.05O3 Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…In most cases, it is found that microstrain can enhance the HER activity of NPs, by improving the surface reactivity and increasing the number of active sites via surface defects. [9,12,53,54] We observe that Ag-BFM has the highest microstrain among the doped BFM NPs, and afterwards Dy-BFM has the microstrain value, so this case explains the lower activity in Ag-BFM than Dy -BFM due to the higher microstrain which leads to an alteration in electronic conductivity.…”

“…[6][7][8] However, these materials suffer with less electrical conductivity, inappropriate hydrogen adsorption ability and limited catalyticactive site. [9] Perovskite materials have emerged as a significant contender for HER as catalysts due to their tunable properties, structural diversity, and multiple active sites. [10] Pristine perovskites have demonstrated promising catalytic activity but with high overpotential values, [11] so the exploration of doping strategies has provided a new avenue to enhance their performance for HER.…”

“…Metal oxide‐based electrocatalysts for HER are also being highly researched due to their low‐cost and earth‐abundant elements and their various functionalities [6–8] . However, these materials suffer with less electrical conductivity, inappropriate hydrogen adsorption ability and limited catalytic‐active site [9] …”
