Abstract

Here, we develop inert V₂O₃ oxide to enhance the HER activity of industrial Ni catalysts with the assistance of abundant metal/oxide interfaces. The as-synthesized Ni/V₂O₃ catalyst exhibits over 5 times the activity of a pure Ni sample due to the particle size control and metal/oxide interaction, and excellent durability as a result of oxide anchoring.
