Fig. 6: Illustration of hydrogen spillover.

Schematic diagram showing how hydrogen spillover from WO3−x to Ru enhances HER in neutral environment. The white and red arrows indicate the formation process of OH and H from the dissociation of water, respectively. Black arrows indicate the transfer process of H. The purple arrow indicates the desorption of OH adsorbed on the surface. The blue, orange and green arrows indicate the different ways of formation of molecular hydrogen.
