Description
Summary:A novel Ru/Y(OH) 3 nanohybrid with high activity and excellent durability for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution in alkaline media was developed. The enhanced performance mainly arose from the amorphous Y(OH) 3 scaffold that both facilitates water dissociation and enhances the structural stability of Ru/Y(OH) 3 due to the strong interaction between Ru and Y(OH) 3 . A novel Ru/Y(OH) 3 nanohybrid with high activity and excellent durability for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution in alkaline media was developed.
