Water Splitting is an important method for hydrogen production in high purity and large quantities. Thus, developing high-performance, low-cost catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great importance. In this review, we systematically summarize the synthetic method for metal sulfide/phosphide-based catalysts as non-precious metal catalysts for HER reaction, and the method for enhancing the HER catalytic activity through constructing metal sulfide/phosphide with unique structure, which can provide guidance for developing new type HER catalysts with high catalytic activity.
