Abstract

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.
