Here we show that a high efficient hydrogen evolution reaction which was carried out on the in-situ growth of self-supported core-shell nanowires array consisting of graphdiyne as the shell and Cu as the core on Cu foams (Cu@GD NA/CF). Subject to potential cycling treatment in 0.5M H2SO4, the Cu@GD...
