Various platinum-free electrocatalysts have been explored for hydrogen evolution reaction in acidic solutions. However, in economical water-alkali electrolysers, sluggish water dissociation kinetics (Volmer step) on platinum-free electrocatalysts results in poor hydrogen-production activities. Here we report a MoNi<sub>4</sub> electrocatalyst supported by MoO<sub>2</sub> cuboids on nickel foam (MoNi<sub>4</sub>/MoO<sub>2</sub>@Ni), which is constructed by controlling the outward diffusion of nic ...[more]
