Abstract
While noble metal usage in catalysis is ubiquitous, the metals’ scarcity necessitates new materials designs for efficient utilization. Here, authors report a general strategy to prepare amorphous noble metal nanosheets and find the nanomaterials to act as efficient water-splitting electrocatalysts.
