Interfacial water reconstruction in high-entropy alloys breaks thermodynamic scaling relations for hydrogen evolution.

The alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is governed by the kinetic incompatibility between water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption. The conventional Pt-based catalysts are further limited by thermodynamic scaling relations that hinder the concurrent optimization of the Volmer and Tafel steps. Herein, we repor...
