Abstract
Reported here is a nanocomposite consisting of Ni nanoparticles loaded on V<sub>4</sub>C<sub>3</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene as a highly efficient NRR electrocatalyst. The critical role of V<sub>4</sub>C<sub>3</sub>T<sub>x</sub> MXene in suppressing the HER activity and enhancing the NRR performance is investigated.
