Singleâatom catalysts (SACs) have exhibited high activities for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysis in acidic or alkaline media, when they are used with binders on cathodes. However, to date, no SACs have been reported for the HER electrocatalysis in neutral media. We demonstrate a potentialâcycling method to synthesize a catalyst comprising single Pt atoms on CoPâbased nanotube arrays supported by a Ni foam, termed PtSAâNTâNF. This binderâfree catalyst is centimeterâscale and scalable. It is directly used as HER cathodes, whose performances at low and high current densities in phosphate buffer solutions (pHâ
7.2) are comparable to and better than, respectively, those of commercial Pt/C. The Pt mass activity of PtSAâNTâNF is 4â
times of that of Pt/C, and its electrocatalytic stability is also better than that of Pt/C. This work provides a largeâscale production strategy for binderâfree Pt SAC electrodes for efficient HER in neutral media.
