- Description
- The increasing consumption of energy and consequent fast depletion of fossil fuels and associated environmental challenges necessitate transformative innovations in the field of energy conversion. Owing to its exceptional energy density and zero emissions during combustion, Hydrogen is hailed as a promising source of clean and renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels in future energy conversion systems. Since Hydrogen is not readily available in the atmosphere, a variety of pathways have been followed for the evolution of Hydrogen from water and organic materials, which requires the involvement of catalysts to accelerate the reactions. Currently, noble metals and their alloys represent state-of-the-art materials for HER (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction), and the scarcity and high expense of such materials impose significant constraints on their widespread implementation in hydrogen production. In this context, nanocarbons and their composites for HER are worth exploring owing to their abundance, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, exceptionally large surface-to-volume ratio, and excellent electrical and charge transfer properties. Here, three leading hydrogen production methods - biological, electrochemical, and photo-driven- are analyzed based on their characteristics, effectiveness, and limitations w.r.t. different nanocarbon materials. 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
