Abstract Amorphization and crystalline grain boundary engineering are adopted separately in improving the catalytic kinetics for water electrolysis. Yet, synergistic effect advance cooperated form of crystalline/amorphous interfaces (CAI) have rarely been elucidated insightfully. Herein, a trimetallic FeCo(NiS 2 ) 4 catalyst with numerous CAI (FeCo(NiS ‐C/A) is presented, which shows highly efficient activity toward both hydrogen oxygen evolution reactions (HER OER). Density functional...

Abstract Platinum‐group metals catalysts (such as Rh, Pd, Ir, Pt) have been the most efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts due to their moderate H adsorption strength, while high 2 O‐dissociation barrier in alkaline media restrains catalytic performance of PGM catalysts. However, optimization and *H/*OH binding energy toward individual optima is limited constraints scaling relationship on a single active site. Here, coordinatively unsaturated “M─O x ─W” (M = area...

Abstract Coordination engineering strategy for optimizing the catalytic performance of single‐atom catalysts (SACs) has been rapidly developed over last decade. However, previous reports on copper SACs nitrate reduction reactions (NO 3 RR) have mostly focused symmetric coordination configurations such as Cu‐N 4 and . In addition, mechanism in terms regulation environment properties not well demonstrated. Herein, we disrupted local structure atoms by introducing unsaturated heteroatomic Cu−O...
