Abstract

Regulating the surface oxophilicity of the electrocatalyst is known as an efficient strategy to mitigate the order-of-magnitude kinetic slowdown of hydrogen electrocatalysis in a base, which is of great scientific and technological significance. So far, its mechanistic origin remains mainly ascribed to the bifunctional or electronic effects that revolve around the catalyst-intermediate interactions and is under extensive debate. In addition, the understanding from the perspective of interfacial electric-double-layer (EDL) structures, which should also strongly depend on the electrode property, is still lacking. Here, by decorating a Pt electrode with Mo, Ru, Rh, and Au metal atoms to tune surface oxophilicity…
