Popis: Designing hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts with high performance in alkaline conditions is important for reducing energy consumption during water electrolysis. This study reports an electrodeposition–calcination–electrodeposition strategy to construct the Ni–Mo–O/Ni₄Mo nanointerface on an N-doped carbon support derived from polyaniline on carbon fiber paper. The N-doped carbon support not only stabilizes the metal/metal oxide nanointerface but also generates more active intrinsic sites and electrical conductivity via the metal–N interaction. The obtained Ni–Mo–O/Ni₄Mo@NC displays a low overpotential of only 61 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm–² for alkaline HER in 1 M KOH.
