Electrocatalysts: The application of electrocatalysts has grown primarily alongside the development of the new energy industry. Nearly a decade later, as the share of new energy sources increases and the energy storage market expands, the production and use of hydrogen are increasingly being adopted across various industries. In terms of scale, the market size of electrocatalysts remains very small, but currently various countries are investing more in hydrogen energy. The most significant application areas for electrocatalysts are hydrogen production via electrolysis and fuel cells. In these fields, precious metal catalysts such as Pt and Pd exhibit exceptional catalytic activity, which is unmatched by any other transition metal catalysts. In the fields of fuel cells and electrolytic hydrogen production, the biggest technical challenge is the synthesis of catalysts. Currently, countries are increasing their investment in the hydrogen energy industry; it is estimated that by 2050, the global value of this industry could reach 20 trillion dollars.
