Overview
Electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction in neutral media is listed as the most difficult challenges of energy catalysis due to the sluggish kinetics. Herein, the Ir-H

support is functioned as proton sponge to create a local acid-like microenvironment around Ir metal sites by spontaneous injection of protons to WO

, as evidenced by spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis. Rationalize revitalized lattice-hydrogen species located in the interface are coupled with H

atoms on metallic Ir surfaces via thermodynamically favorable Volmer-Tafel steps, and thereby a fast kinetics. Elaborated Ir-H

, which are even comparable to those in acidic environment. The concept exemplified in this work offer the possibilities for tailoring local reaction microenvironment to regulate catalytic activity and pathway.
