was as low as 51 and 49 mV under alkaline and acidic conditions, respectively. Density functional theory calculations showed that the substituted Ru single atoms lowered the proton-coupled electron transfer energy barrier and promoted H-H bond formation, thereby enhancing catalytic performance for the HER. The findings open a new avenue for developing carbon-based hybridization materials with integrated electrocatalytic performance for water splitting.
