Because of the limited availability of fossil fuels, the splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen upon exploitation of solar energy becomes an increasingly important clean energy production and storage technique. Despite its early use as a hydrogen-evolution catalyst in alkaline electrolysis, steel was until very recently supposed to be neither an active and stable water-splitting catalyst nor an interesting scientific subject at all. The authors of this contribution not only have shown in recent papers the potential of steel in terms of pure material properties but also have revealed the qualities of steel as a striking scientific topic. They herewith review what is known about the water-splitting properties of untreated and surface-modified steel and try to determine a potential transfer to a broader application of modified steels in heterogeneous catalysis. The synopsis is basically limited to the usage of steel as a real electrocatalyst, thus presenting the catalytic active species itself.

钢：被遗忘的水分解催化剂的复活

由于化石燃料的可用性有限，利用太阳能将水分解为氧气和氢气成为一种越来越重要的清洁能源生产和存储技术。尽管钢早已在碱性电解中用作放氢催化剂，但直到最近，钢仍被认为既不是一种活性且稳定的水分解催化剂，也根本不是有趣的科学课题。这一贡献的作者不仅在最近的论文中显示了钢在纯净材料性能方面的潜力，而且还揭示了钢作为引人注目的科学主题的品质。他们在此回顾了有关未处理的和表面改性的钢的水分解性能的已知知识，并试图确定在非均相催化中向改性钢的更广泛应用的潜在转移。概要基本上限于将钢用作真正的电催化剂，因此提出了催化活性物质本身。
