A molecular design strategy to enhance hydrogen evolution on platinum electrocatalysts
Nature Energy, Published online: 08 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01754-4The electrode–aqueous interface is crucial to designing effective electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction, which occurs in water electrolysers. Here the authors explore the use of organic overlayers on Pt electrodes, enhancing hydrogen evolution activity in alkaline media by up to 50 times.
