Abstract
In a recent issue of Nature Materials, Zhe Li et al. propose a two-step synthesis for enhancing copper’s catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by introducing distorted nanotwins. Their study—covering growth, high-level characterization, simulation, and performance—demonstrates how structural modifications improve hydrogen adsorption and boost HER activity.
