ABSTRACT
Valence modulation of transition metal oxides represents a highly effective approach in designing high-performance catalysts, particularly for pivotal applications such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in solar/electric water splitting and the hydrogen economy. Recently, there has been a growing interest in high-valence transition metal-based electrocatalysts (HVTMs) due to their demonstrated superiority in HER performance, attributed to the fundamental dynamics of charge transfer and the evolution of intermediates. Nevertheless, the synthesis of HVTMs encounters considerable thermodynamic barriers, which presents challenges in their preparation. Moreover, the underlying mechanism responsible for the enhancement in HVTMs still needs to be discovered. Hence, the universal synthesis strategies of the HVTMs are discussed, and direct Raman spectroscopic evidence for intermediates regulation is revealed to guide the further design of the HVTM electrocatalysts. This work offers new insights for facile designing of HVTMs electrocatalysts for energy conversion and storage through adjusting the reaction pathway.
