Producing H2 from water using electricity and earth-abundant elements is necessary for worldwide renewable fuel production, yet most electrocatalysts have sluggish activities or poor stabilities. Here, authors show vanadium oxide modified copper-doped nickel to enable active and durable H2 evolution.
