Subnanometric osmium clusters confined on palladium metallenes for enhanced hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction catalysis by Prabhu, P., Do, Viet-Hung, Yoshida, Takefumi, Zhou, Yingtang, Ariga-Miwa, Hiroko, Kaneko, Takuma, Uruga, Tomoya, Iwasawa, Yasuhiro, Lee, Jong-Min

“…Here, we leverage a facile heterostructure design strategy to construct atomically thin Os@Pd metallenes, with atomic-scale Os nanoclusters of varying geometries confined on the surface layer of the Pd lattice, which exhibit excellent bifunctional properties for catalyzing both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Importantly, Os5%@Pd metallenes manifest a low η10 overpotential of only 11 mV in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte (HER) as well as a highly positive E1/2 potential of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH (ORR), along with superior mass activities and electrochemical durability. …”
