Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the fundamental half-reaction involved in hydrogen gas production. HER is a cathodic reaction in electrolysis, where proton is converted into H2 gas with the help of a electrocatalyst. Platinum (Pt)-based catalysts are known to be the most effective catalysts for...
