Abstract

ABSTRACT Hybrid electrocatalysts combining noble metals with tailored supports are crucial for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) across a wide pH range. Here, we report a ruthenium cluster catalyst anchored on molybdenum boride support engineered with boron vacancies (Ru/MoB‐B V ) for highly efficient HER. The introduced boron vacancies optimize the electronic interactions between molybdenum boride and the Ru cluster via a Ru─Mo electron bridge, leading to enhanced catalytic performance and stability. Combined electrochemical analysis and density functional theory calculations reveal that Ru/MoB‐B V possesses a favorable water‐dissociation energy and optimal desorption energies for hydrogen/hydroxide…
