Abstract With the ever‐growing global demand for sustainable energy solutions, hydrogen has garnered significant attention as a clean, efficient, and renewable source. In field of production, catalyst research stands out one foremost areas focus. recent years, preparation electrocatalysts using ionic liquids (ILs) deep eutectic solvents (DESs) attracted widespread attention. ILs DESs possess unique physicochemical properties are recognized green media well functional materials. Cobalt‐based catalysts have proven to be efficient water splitting. Incorporating or into cobalt‐based offers remarkable advantage by allowing precise control over their structural design composition. This directly influences adsorption catalyst's surface stability reaction intermediates, thereby enabling enhanced pathways product selectivity. Consequently, catalytic activity can effectively improved. process preparing catalysts, serve templates. Owing good solubility DESs, they efficiently dissolve raw materials provide special nucleation growth environment, obtaining with novel‐structures. The main focus this review is detailed introduction metal cobalt its oxide/hydroxide derivatives in splitting, particular emphasis on progress achieved through utilization IL DES. aim assist readers designing synthesizing novel high‐performance electrochemical catalysts.
