Abstract Hydrogen production by electrochemical water splitting is considered to be a key strategic energy technology, and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEMWEs) anion (AEMWEs) are ideal technologies for green hydrogen in recent years. However, PEMWEs AEMWEs lack low‐cost high‐performance acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) alkaline (HER) electrocatalysts respectively, limiting their large‐scale development. Recently, ruthenium (Ru)‐based have received lot of attention because activity better than that commercial catalysts price more affordable, showing great potential OER HER. there still obstacles Ru‐based practical applications industrial electrolyzers, regulatory strategies need developed further optimize its performance. Herein, comprehensive review presented concerning it. First, fundamental principles focus the basic content application discussed. Then, summarized, providing detailed analysis elucidate mechanisms, properties, electrolyzers. Finally, outlooks prospects challenges future proposed.

The deployment of high-performance catalysts and the acceleration anodic reaction kinetics are key measures to achieve maximum energy efficiency in overall water electrolysis hydrogen production systems. Here, an innovative strategy is developed by directly constructing a supramolecular framework embedded with boron clusters cucurbituril as reducing agent. This approach enabled situ conversion Pt⁴⁺ into highly dispersed, small-sized nano-platinum, which subsequently distributed on boron-carbon-nitrogen (BCN) matrix. resulting Pt/BNHCSs catalyst demonstrates ability facilitate electrocatalytic splitting for across multiple scenarios while simultaneously accelerating methanol oxidation kinetics, significantly outperforming commercial Pt/C various aspects. cathodic evolution-anodic coupling system constructed using greatly reduces consumption system. In attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared online differential electrochemical mass spectrometry reveals that interface enhances H₂O adsorption promotes CH₃OH→CO process, density functional theory calculations indicated BCN support facilitated evolution H₂ CH₃OH CO, elucidating mechanism promoted oxidation.
