Materials for Water Splitting
As we strive to make the transition away from a reliance on fossil fuels, the development of next-generation energy systems is critical. Green hydrogen production through catalytic water splitting is a leading technology toward achieving this goal and as such is a thriving and fast-moving area of research for materials scientists. This Virtual Special Issue from ACS Materials Letters showcases some state-of-the-art innovations in materials design for this vital application recently published in the journal.
This Virtual Special Issue is led by an introductory Editorial written by Associate Editor Prof. Yujie Xiong.
