Abstract
Visible-light-driven hydrogen production through photocatalysis has attracted enormous interest owing to its great potential to address energy and environmental issues. However, photocatalysis possesses several limitations to overcome for practical applications, such as low light absorption efficiency, rapid charge recombination, and poor stability of photocatalysts. Here, the preparation of efficient noble metal–semiconductor hybrid photocatalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production is presented. The prepared ternary Rh–TiO2–CeO2 hybrid photocatalysts exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance toward the hydrogen production reaction compared with their counterparts, ascribed to the synergistic combination of Rh, TiO2, and CeO2.

Abstract
In the present contribution we have focused on the electrochemical adsorption of a proton from the solution-the Volmer reaction-on a variety of systems based on bimetallic nanostructures-clusters and wires-of Pd and Pt deposited on a surface of Au(111). We have calculated the free energy surface for the electron transfer step by a combination of DFT calculations, MD simulations and the theory of electrocatalysis. We analyze in detail the interaction of the metal d band with the valence orbital of the hydrogen and its effect on the catalytic activity as well as several aspects that influence the electrode reactivity such as spatial arrangements of the nanostructures, the solvation shell and chemical factors. We found that the mixed Pd2Pt wire interacts strongly with hydrogen, and retains an almost complete solvation shell, which is reflected in a substantially reduced activation energy for the Volmer step. Thus, Pd2Pt wires on Au(111) are predicted to be efficient electrocatalysts for the reaction.

Abstract
Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is one of the most important reactions in electrochemistry. This is not only because it is the simplest way to produce high purity hydrogen and the fact that it is the side reaction in many other technologies. HER actually shaped current electrochemistry because it was in focus of active research for so many years (and it still is). The number of catalysts investigated for HER is immense, and it is not possible to overview them all. In fact, it seems that the complexity of the field overcomes the complexity of HER. The aim of this review is to point out some of the latest developments in HER catalysis, current directions and some of the missing links between a single crystal, nanosized supported catalysts and recently emerging, single-atom catalysts for HER.

Abstract
The electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a well-studied reaction which involves the reduction of protons for hydrogen production. Pd-based compounds are expected to have activity on par with or better than the expensive state-of-the-art Pt and can be considered as the future materials for the HER.
