Nevertheless, their HER activity is usually hindered by the strong hydrogen binding energy. Moreover, the lack of water-cleaving sites makes it difficult for the catalysts to work in alkaline solutions. Here, we designed and synthesized a B and N dual-doped carbon layer that encapsulated on Mo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C nanocrystals (Mo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C@BNC) for accelerating HER under alkaline condition. The electronic interactions between the Mo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C nanocrystals and the multiple-doped carbon layer endow a near-zero H adsorption Gibbs free energy on the defective C atoms over the carbon shell.

Accordingly, the dual-doped Mo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C catalyst with synergistic effect of non-metal sites delivers superior HER performances of a low overpotential (99\u00a0mV@10\u00a0mA\u00a0cm\n                    <jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and a small Tafel slope (58.1\u00a0mV\u00a0dec\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    )\u00a0in 1\u00a0M KOH solution. Furthermore, it presents a remarkable activity that outperforming the commercial 10% Pt\/C catalyst at large current density, demonstrating its applicability in industrial water splitting.
