Ultrasmall and phase-pure W2C nanoparticles for efficient electrocatalytic and photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution

Tungsten carbide has yet to live up to its long-believed potential as a replacement for precious metal electrocatalysts. Here, Li and co-workers demonstrate that ditungsten carbide in the form of ultrasmall, phase-pure nanoparticles is a better candidate for the hydrogen evolution reaction.
