The rational construction of efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical to seawater electrolysis. Herein, trimetallic heterostructured core-shell nanoboxes based on Prussian blue analogues (Ni-Co@Fe-Co PBA) were synthesized using an iterative coprecipitation strategy. same procedure was used preparation PBA core shell, with synthesis shell involving chemical etching during introduction ferrous ions. Due its unique structure composition,...
