Ru has recently been regarded as a promising catalyst for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to its similar binding energy towards *H but lower price compared to Pt. Nevertheless, the quest of high-efficiency Ru-based catalysts for HOR and HER is driven by the current disadvantages including low activity and unsatisfactory stability. Herein, we have fabricated and engineered two-dimensional (2D) Ru-based snow-like nanosheets with Ru/RuO interface (Ru/RuO SNSs) via a post-annealing treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • * A new top-down strategy was developed to create amorphous oxides by converting hydroxides, with successful applications on different types of hydroxides.
  • * The resulting optimal amorphous oxide (FeCoSn(OH)-300) shows significantly improved oxygen evolution reaction activity, with simulations helping to understand both the fabrication process and performance enhancements.
