Abstract
AbstractInvited for this month′s cover picture are Dr. Aleksandar R. Zeradjanin and colleagues, from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. This cover is part of the Special Collection dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Wolfgang Schuhmann. The cover picture shows how metals with more destabilized interfacial water molecules could behave as efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) where high reaction rate, despite of relatively high activation energy, is possible to achieve via high values of preexponential factor by proton tunnelling. While destabilization of the proton's solvation sphere in acidic electrolytes is intuitive, in alkaline media this proceeds via a more complex mechanism.
