title: Robust and highly active copper-based electrocatalyst for hydrogen production at low overpotential in neutral water.
abstract: We report here a Cu(0)-based catalyst free of noble metals for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction in neutral water with an onset overpotential of only 70 mV. This is the lowest reported value among Cu(0)-based catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in neutral water.
