Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited in situ on a conductive multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) support at a free‐standing water/1,2‐dichloroethane interface. The Cu/MWCNT nanocomposites act as highly active hydrogen evolution catalysts at the interface in the presence of lipophilic decamethylferrocene as the reducing agent.
