A highly efficient overall water splitting ruthenium-cobalt alloy electrocatalyst across a wide pH range via electronic coupling with carbon dots

Through the modification of the surface and bulk electronic structures of Ru, the developed Ru-based catalyst presents superior electrocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution activities with great durability over a wide pH range.
