Multi-site electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution in neutral media by destabilization of water molecules
Multi-site electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution in neutral media by destabilization of water molecules, Published online: 10 December 2018; doi:10.1038/s41560-018-0296-8
Integrating electrocatalytic H2 production with biological H2-fed systems for CO2 upgrading requires H2 generation to occur in biocompatible media—typically with neutral pH. Here, the authors design multi-site H2 evolution catalysts that minimize the water dissociation barrier and promote hydride coupling in neutral media.
