Exploring efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media is crit-ical for developing anion exchange membrane electrolyzers. The key to a rational catalyst design is understanding the de-scriptors that govern the alkaline HER activity. Unfortunately, t...
