Abstract

Ru single atoms anchored on highly dispersed MoC nano-islands were embedded within nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets, in which Mo–Ru tandem sites synergistically delivered a low overpotential of 78 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and mass activity 15× higher than that of commercial Pt/C for the alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction.
