Oxygen vacancies as electronic bridges to reinforce Ru–TiO 2 metal–support interactions toward efficient electrocatalytic acidic hydrogen evolution
Abstract
support to Ru. This electron redistribution downshifts the d-band center of Ru, thereby optimizing the hydrogen adsorption energy. By clarifying the role of defect-engineered SMSI in modulating the electronic structure and catalytic behavior of Ru, this work provides a rational material design strategy for developing highly efficient and stable Ru-based HER electrocatalysts.
