The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) holds great promise for clean energy, where electrocatalysts for HER perform as the cathode reaction of water splitting is the critical reaction process on fuel cell. In spite of the rapid growth of alternative materials, platinum (Pt)-based or platinum alloy ma...
