Water splitting is one of the most promising technologies for generating green hydrogen. To meet industrial demand, it is essential to boost the operation current density to industrial levels, typically in the hundreds of mA cm^-2. However, operating at these high current densities presents significant challenges, with bubble formation being one of the most critical issues. Efficient bubble management is crucial as it directly impacts the performance and stability of the water splitting process. Superwetting electrodes, which can enhance aerophobicity, are particularly favorable for facilitating bubble detachment and transport. By reducing bubble contact time and minimizing the size of detached bubbles, these electrodes help prevent blockage and maintain high catalytic efficiency. Here, in this review, we aim to provide an overview of recent advancements in tackling bubble-related issues through the design and implementation of superwetting electrodes, including surface modification techniques and structural optimizations. We will also share our insights into the principles and mechanisms behind the design of superwetting electrodes, highlighting the key factors that influence their performance. Our review aims to guide future research directions and provides a solid foundation for developing more efficient and durable superwetting electrodes for high-rate water splitting.
