Severe Plastic Deformation for Advanced Electrocatalysts for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Production

Developing electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen (OER) of water splitting is very important electrocatalytic production. Very recently, emerging study have demonstrated that materials show some superior HER OER performances after processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD). In this work, recent advances on electrochemical production SPD are summarized. Some basic principles briefly described, then the development technology SPDed with enhanced properties comprehensively reviewed. Moreover, future direction also prospected.
