Abstract

Increasing demand for finding eco-friendly and renewable energy sources, it is urgently needed for exploiting economical and high efficient electrocatalysts to promote hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reaction (HER and OER) for water splitting devices. Recently, metal chalcogenides based on earth-abundant metals have emerged as promising candidates for efficient water splitting catalysts. In this chapter, a general introduction to the metal chalcogenide materials and various general synthetic methods are summarized. More importantly, complementary strategies can be used to improve catalytic performance of metal chalcogenide materials described in detail, hoping to provide valuable guidelines for engineering efficient electrocatalysts for water splitting.
