Facile Atomic‐Level Tuning of Reactive Metal–Support Interactions in the Pt QDs@ HF‐Free MXene Heterostructure for Accelerating pH‐Universal Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract Supported metallic nanoparticles render highly tunable physical and chemical properties to mixed‐dimensionality materials in electrocatalysts. However, some supports are susceptible to being dissolved in acidic solution or are unstable in ambient air. The development of high‐performance cat...
