Carbide nano-islands with confined Mo–Ru sites enable sequential H <sub>2</sub> O adsorption and dissociation for accelerated hydrogen evolution
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<sup>-2</sup> and mass activity 15× higher than that of commercial Pt/C for the alkaline electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction.
