Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the activity and stability of alkaline water splitting system based on various kinds of metal-chalcogenide electrode materials with their different chemical and structural (both morphology and crystal) properties. On comparison, the metal chalcogenides supported on a metal substrate support claims the promising bifunctional activity and long-Term stability than those of catalysts without support due to their favorable materials properties of high electrochemical active surface area and less charge transfer resistance during the electrochemical reactions. Overall, in this chapter, we discuss the challenges and recent progress in the development of low-cost and suitable metal-chalcogenide electrode materials by using different cost-effective approaches and their influence on the alkaline water electrolyzer system.
