Abstract
Understanding the slow kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction in neutral media is of fundamental importance for the rational design of high-performance electrocatalysts for hydrogen energy. Here, by studying Ru single atom and RuSe x cluster, the authors report how the rate of hydrogen evolution reaction activity in neutral media is governed by interfacial water.
