Hydrogen evolution reaction on copper: Promoting water dissociation by tuning the surface oxophilicity

In order to probe the hydroxyl (OHad) adsorption energy as one of the possible descriptors for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, we performed studies on polycrystalline copper (Cu(Poly)), a well-known poor catalyst for HER. By employing three different preparation methods for Cu(P...
