From Deposition Stress to Surface Reactivity: Strain-Dependent Hydrogen Evolution on Sputtered Platinum Thin Films

Sabrina Baha, Alejandro E. Perez Mendoza, Leonardo H. Morais +9

Strain has emerged as a promising approach for tuning electrocatalytic properties, yet its role in sputter-deposited thin films remains poorly understood. In this work, magnetron-s…
