The reaction kinetics for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an alkaline medium is more sluggish than in acid because it involves extraordinary adsorption and desorption of multiple oxygenated intermediates. Herein, by using covalently bonded 2D fullerene C60 network (abbreviated 2...
