The lower limits of platinum loading have been explored for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In their Communication on page 9859 ff., J. G. Chen and co‐workers present a low‐cost substrate material, tungsten monocarbide, that is capable of supporting monolayer amounts of platinum to produce an electrocatalyst with the same HER activity as bulk platinum.
