Abstract

Abstract: With the introduction of the “dual carbon” target, hydrogen energy has garnered significant attention as a clean and efficient secondary energy source. The production of “green hydrogen” through the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) represents one of the most promising strategies for achieving a hydrogen-powered society. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have demonstrated exceptional catalytic performance in HER, attributed to their maximized atomic utilization efficiency and distinctive electronic structures. This paper comprehensively reviews recent advancements in the synthesis of metal SACs and their applications in HER. Through detailed case analyses, this review aims to provide insights into the forefront of SAC research and elucidate their critical role in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
