Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the critical process of hydrogen production through water electrolysis. However, the dependence on precious metal catalysts limits its large-scale application. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are promising alternatives due to their metal-like conductivity, adjustable electronic structure and low cost. Yet they still show some shortcomings such as insufficient intrinsic activity and poor surface stability. This review first systematically summarizes the HER reaction mechanism and its implications for TMPs catalyst design. Subsequently, it details the characteristics, limitations, and performance optimization strategies for monometallic TMPs. Furthermore, it discusses advances in polymetallic TMPs and composite structures for overcoming the activity limitations of monometallic TMPs. Finally, we propose key obstacles limiting TMPs in HER and their research directions and development prospects in the future.
