Cooperative Ni(Co)‐Ru‐P Sites Activate Dehydrogenation for Hydrazine Oxidation Assisting Self‐powered H 2 Production
Water electrolysis for H 2 production is restricted by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Using the thermodynamically more favorable hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) to replace OER has attracted ever‐growing attention.
