- The commercialisation of fuel cells and the round-the-clock model of electrocatalytic hydrogen production will alleviate the intermittency issues associated with sustainable renewable energy sources. This work demonstrates a new route to regulate the catalyst morphology and composition with the aim to boost Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) activity. It promises cheap, large-scale and high performance HER electrocatalysts as an alternative to noble metals. The paper introduces a simple and robust coating strategy for flexible substrates to boost HER performance, which outperform most of the recently reported non-noble metal electrocatalysts.
