The development of cost-effective electrocatalysts with high efficiency and long durability for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)remains a great challenge in the field of water splitting.Herein,we design an ultrafine and highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles stabilized on porous V8C7/C matrix via pyrolysis of the metal-organic frameworks V-BDC(BDC:1,4-benzenedicarboxylate).The obtained Ru-V8C7/C composite exhibits excellent HER performance in all pH ranges.At the overpotential of 40 mV,its mass activity is about 1.9,4.1 and 9.4 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C in acidic,neutral and alkaline media,respectively.Meanwhile,Ru-V8C7/C shows the remarkably high stability in all pH ranges which,in par-ticular,can maintain the current density of 10 mA cm-2 for over 150 h in 1.0 mol L-1 phosphate buffer saline(PBS).This outstanding HER performance can be attributed to the high intrinsic activity of Ru spe-cies and their strong interface interactions to the V8C7/C substrate.The synergistic effect of abundant active sites on the surface and the formed Ru-C-V units at the interface promotes the adsorption of reac-tion intermediates and the release of active sites,contributing the fast HER kinetics.This work provides a reference for developing versatile and robust HER catalysts by surface and interface regulation for pH tolerance.
