H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
This narrative review examined the available molecular-hydrogen literature. Despite the competence of these methods, the predominant reliance on molecular hydrogen (H₂) gas under high temperature and elevated pressure presents operational challenges. This article starts with the discussion on the inherent advantages and limitations of conventional hydrogen sources compared to water in hydrogenation reactions, followed by the introduction of representative electrocatalytic systems that successfully utilize water as the hydrogen source in realizing a large number of organic hydrogenation transformations, with a focus on heterogeneous electrocatalysts. The reviewed evidence adds support for molecular hydrogen's therapeutic potential across the conditions, mechanisms, or outcomes examined.
