Strong electronic metal–support interaction between Pt and stainless mesh for enhancing the hydrogen evolution reaction

摘要

Strong electronic metal–support interaction (EMSI) can tailor the electronic structure of electrocatalysts. Herein, Pt nanoparticles anchored on stainless mesh (SM) via EMSI engineering are reported, exhibiting excellent hydrogen production activity. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that the superior performance stems from the strong EMSI between Pt atoms and Fe atoms in SM.
