Currently, platinum (Pt) stands as the most efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media due to its favorable electronic structure, which facilitates moderate binding energy with hydrogen ions, a crucial attribute for achieving efficient catalytic performance . The Pt catalysts for the HER in acidic media suffer from two major limitations including their high cost, which hinders large-scale production , and performance deterioration at high current densities due to catalyst restructuring issues .
