Abstract

The Front Cover 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. More information can be found in the Article by P. Narangoda et al.
