Electrocatalytic water splitting is a promising strategy to generate hydrogen using renewable energy under mild condi-tions.Carbon-based materials have attracted attention in electrocatalytic water splitting because of their distinctive features such as high specific area,high electron mobility and abundant natural resources.Hydrogen produced by industrial electrocatalytic water splitting in a large quantity requires electrocatalysis at a low overpotential at a large current density.Substantial efforts focused on fundamental research have been made,while much less attention has been paid to the high-current-density test.There are many dis-tinct differences in electrocatalysis to split water using low and high current densities such as the bubble phenomenon,local environ-ment around active sites,and stability.Recent research progress on carbon-based electrocatalysts for water splitting at low and high current densities is summarized,significant challenges and prospects for carbon-based electrocatalysts are discussed,and promising strategies are proposed.
