Surface composition dependent ligand effect in tuning the activity of nickel–copper bimetallic electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution in alkaline by Wei, Chao, Sun, Yuanmiao, Scherer, Günther G., Fisher, Adrian C., Sherburne, Matthew, Ager, Joel W., Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…Such correlation indicates the descriptor role of d band center, and this hypothesis is further supported by the evidence that com-bining Ni and Cu produces a variety of adsorption sites, which possess near-optimal hydrogen binding energy. Our finding broadens the applicability of d band theory to activity prediction of metal electrocatalysts and may offer an insightful under-standing of alkaline HER mechanism.…”
