Developing robust nonprecious electrocatalysts towards hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions is crucial for widespread use of electrochemical water splitting in hydrogen production. Here, we report that intermetallic Co 3 Mo spontaneously separated from hierarchical nanoporous copper skeleton shows ge...
