Efficient green hydrogen production through electrocatalytic water splitting serves as a powerful catalyst for realizing a carbon-free hydrogen economy. However, current electrocatalytic designs face challenges such as poor hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance (Tafel slope, 100-140 mV dec-1...
