Optimized atomic structure of (a) molecular oxygen physisorbed on one Sn vacancy in the surface layer of AuSn3.88, (b) oxygen molecule decomposed on the surface of AuSn4, (c) formation of oxidized layer on the surface of AuSn4. Panels d–f represent the various reactions steps of the HER on the oxidized surface of AuSn4, namely (d) adsorption of hydrogen, (e) decomposition of water, and (f) first step of desorption of OH on the oxidized surface of AuSn4.
