<p>One potential endurable energy source for the next generation is green hydrogen, this can be generated electrochemically by splitting of water into H₂ and O₂. Electrodeposition has emerged as a widely adopted method for developing electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER), offering several advantages for real-world applications. These benefits include scalability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability, making it an attractive approach for the design of highly efficient water-splitting systems. The exceptionally complex variables needed to deposit a large number of catalytic active sites still place significant limitations on the capacity to build highly effective electrocatalysts exploiting electrodeposition. In this review paper, we highlight three types of materials approaches to existing problems and recent developments in the field of electrodeposition for HER. There is a lot of discussion about the highly catalytic electrodeposited catalyst systems, such as Transition Metal Phosphide and Nitride (TMPN) systems. Finally, we propose solutions to the existing issues and discuss the possibility of electrodeposition in the next generation of hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts.</p> Graphical Abstract <p></p>
