HIGHLIGHTS
• All the important single-atom catalysts (SACs) synthetic strategies, such as wet-chemistry method, atomic layer deposition, metal– organic framework-derived method, electrodeposition, high-temperature atom trapping from bulk particles, and vacancies/defects immobilized strategy, have been summarized and discussed in detail. • Various metal-based (especially Pt, Pd, Ru, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, W, V) SACs in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have been systematically reviewed. • The current key challenges in SACs for electrochemical HER are pointed out, and some potential strategies/perspectives are proposed.
