Abstract
Abstract Large‐scale hydrogen production through electrocatalytic water splitting holds great promise to alleviate the energy crisis and environmental issue. For cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), developing efficient and low‐cost electrocatalysts is highly desired to accelerate the reactive process and reduce energy consumption. In past few years, ruthenium and ruthenium‐based compounds electrocatalysts emerge as alternatives for the benchmark platinum for HER. Herein, the recent advances for the preparation of ruthenium‐based electrocatalysts towards HER is summarized, then we also discuss the prospect and challenge for the development of effective electrocatalysts based on ruthenium.
