Weiying Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, the modulation of metal-support interaction (MSI) in graphene-supported Ni catalyst was successfully achieved through an alloying strategy. A reasonable Ni/Cu ratio significantly enhanced the MSI in the NiCu cocatalyst, leading to the presence of smaller NiCu alloy nanoparticles with sufficient active sites and optimized hydrogen adsorption on the NiCu surface. As a result, the NiCu cocatalyst exhibited improved electrocatalytic and photocatalytic HER performance compared to monometallic Ni and Cu catalysts.
