Our research was highlighted in Nature Reviews Clean Technology
Our recent research, “Size-dependent dynamic surface states of Ru clusters: modulating interfacial water structure for enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction,” was highlighted in *Nature Reviews Clean Technology*. The study demonstrates that sub-nanometre Ru clusters regulate the interfacial water structure through dynamic surface states, enabling highly efficient and durable alkaline hydrogen evolution. Prof. Wooyul Kim participated in the study as a corresponding author. Research Highlight: “Bridging the water gap”
