Table 1 Underlying electrochemical processes occurring during the H evolution reaction
From: The rapid electrochemical activation of MoTe2 for the hydrogen evolution reaction
Volmer step | H3O+ + e− → Hads + H2O | Discharge step |
Heyrovsky step | Hads + H3O+ + e− → H2 + H2O | Electrochemical desorption step |
Tafel step | Hads + Hads → H2 | Recombination step |
