A rhodium/silicon co-electrocatalyst design concept to surpass platinum hydrogen evolution activity at high overpotentials

Design of hydrogen evolution catalysts needs to balance the hydrogen adsorption energy to facilitate easy adsorption and desorption. Here, the authors report a composite catalyst where hydrogen adsorption occurs on rhodium and desorbs from silicon which has a lower adsorption energy.
