A porous Ru nanomaterial exhibits high electrocatalytic performance and excellent durability for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under both acidic and neutral conditions. It displays a low overpotential of 83 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and an excellent durability up to 12 h in 0.5 M H2SO4.
