Abstract

Hydrogen has emerged as a green and sustainable pathway towards achieving global decarbonization and net-zero emissions, intensely driving the need for efficient hydrogen production protocols. Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) holds great potential as a scalable, eco-friendly and sa...
