Catalysts improve the HER process by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction, thereby increasing the reaction rate. They provide active sites where the reactants can adsorb, react, and desorb more efficiently. Key strategies to enhance catalytic performance include:
Nanostructuring: Increasing the surface area to maximize active sites. Doping: Incorporating other elements to modify electronic properties and enhance activity. Synergistic Effects: Combining different materials to leverage their unique properties.
