Palladinized graphene oxide-MOF induced coupling of Volmer and Heyrovsky mechanisms, for the amplification of the electrocatalytic efficiency of hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract In this study, a nanocomposite of palladium supported graphene oxide (GO)/metal–organic framework (MOF) was prepared using electroless deposition of Pd on GO followed by impregnation method of Pd@GO and MOF. The prepared materials were characterized with various analytical techniques and th...
