Boosting the hydrogen evolution reaction activity of Ru in alkaline and neutral media by accelerating water dissociation

Abstract
/NG only needs a very low overpotential of 47 mV, which outperforms the activity of Pt/C in alkaline media. The strategy proposed here, multi-site acceleration of water dissociation, provides new guidance on the design of a highly efficient, inexpensive, and biocompatible HER catalyst in nonacidic condition.
