Dual doping: An emerging strategy to construct efficient metal catalysts for water electrolysis

Abstract

Developing efficient electrocatalysts for water electrolysis is critical for sustainable hydrogen energy development. For enhancing the catalytic performance of metal catalysts, dual doping has attracted enormous interest for its high effectiveness and facile realization. Dual doping is effective for tuning the electronic properties, enhancing the electrical conductivity, populating active sites, and improving the stability of metal catalysts. In this review, recent developments in cation-cation, cation-anion, and anion-anion dual-doped catalysts for water splitting are comprehensively summarized and discussed. An emphasis is put on illustrating how dual doping regulates the external and internal properties and boosts the catalytic performance of catalysts. Additionally, perspectives are pointed out to guide future research on engineering high-performance heteroatom-doped electrocatalysts.
