The volcanic relationship between the HER activity and lattice constant of RuCo alloy nanofilms

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Apr 7;58(29):4631-4634. doi: 10.1039/d1cc07119j.

Abstract

RuCo-ANFs with different proportions can be successfully prepared by magnetron sputtering, and their lattice constants can be adjusted accurately. In the RuCo-ANF, there is an obvious electronic interaction between Ru and Co, thus adjusting the ΔGH* on its surface. There is a volcanic relationship between the HER activity and the lattice constant of RuCo-ANF.
