  4. Abstract:
  5. Nowadays, the need for green energy resources is being felt more than at any other time due to the critical level of carbon emission and its considerable effects on the environment. Hydrogen as a promising substitute for fossil fuels can be produced via water splitting reactions and be applied in a carbon-free cycle. As one of the main pillars of the 4th industrial revolution, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are attractive trends toward fabrication of the electrolyzers and electrodes with high surface area and customized architecture in an automated, time-saving, and waste-reducing manner. This review is devoted to electrocatalytic water splitting reports in which additive manufacturing methods are applied to develop hydrogen and/or oxygen evolution electrodes as well as other reactor components. A brief overview of utilized AM approaches for water splitting systems, and comprehensive performance comparison are provided. A final discussion about present challenges and perspectives is also given. © 2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
