Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Designing non-Pt metal electrocatalysts for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) is highly desirable to address the unsustainable use of high-cost and scarce Pt. Although challenging, this study introduces an ultrasmall Ruthenium nanoclusters (Ru NCs)-based electrocatalyst with dual active sites for efficient alkaline HOR. While the selection of Ru is based on its cost-effectiveness, smaller atomic number, and comparable physicochemical properties to Pt, the employment of Mo 2 C as the support is mainly for establishing strong electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) within the catalyst. This EMSI effect facilitates significant charge redistribution and the formation of efficient dual-active sites within a single Ru NC. Experiments and simulations confirm that the EMSI effect modulates the d-band centers of the Ru NCs at both H-adsorption and OH-adsorption sites, endowing the Ru/Mo 2 C catalyst with up to 16.6 times and 29.7 times higher mass activity than commercial Pt/C and Ru/C, respectively, as well as enhanced long-term stability and CO resistance. This work provides a paradigm in designing non-Pt metal NCs for alkaline HOR electrocatalysis, underscoring the significance of adjusting the EMSI effect for performance escalation of HOR catalysis.
