A nitridation route to construct high-activity interfaces toward alkaline hydrogen evolution
Yihan Feng, Xunlu Wang, Jiacheng Wang
Abstract
A nitridation route to synthesize Ru/TiO x N y with fast HER kinetics is successfully developed; this not only optimizes the adsorption energy of hydrogen intermediates, but it also improves electron transfer via forming Ru–N bonds at the interfaces.
