Incorporation of Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Residuals with Metallic Bi as High Performance Electrocatalyst toward Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Nanostructured Bismuth-based materials are promising electrodes for highly efficient electrochemical reduction processes such as hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, a novel sort of nanocomposite made up of partially reduced Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> into metall...
