Fig. 4: HOR activity of Pd@M core-shell nanocubes (M = Ir, Pt, Ru, Rh, and Au), Pd@bimetallic alloy core-shell nanocubes with different bimetallic combinations of shells and commercial Pt/C.

a Polarization curves of Pd@M core-shell nanocubes (M = Ir, Pt, Ru, Rh, and Au) and commercial Pt/C in H2-saturated 0.1 M KOH at a scan rate of 5 mV s−1 and rotating speed of 1600 rpm. b Polarization curves of Pd@bimetallic alloy core-shell nanocubes in H2-saturated 0.1 M KOH at a rotating speed of 1600 rpm with a scan rate of 5 mV s−1. c Comparison of the specific activity at 0.05 VRHE. These data are obtained with no iR correction. Source data for this Figure are provided as a Source Data file.
