A homogeneous electrocatalyst is one that is present in the same phase of matter as the reactants, for example, a water-soluble coordination complex catalyzing an electrochemical conversion in solution. This technology is not practiced commercially, but is of research interest. Many coordination complexes catalyze electrochemical reactions, although few have achieved commercial success. Well investigated processes include the hydrogen evolution reaction.
