Abstract
Magnetic fields are known as clean, economic, and effective tools to modify band and magnetic structures of materials. When coupled with catalytic processes such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), they have the potential to control catalytic efficiency. Herein, we studied the magnetic response of a series of materials as HER catalysts, specifically ferromagnetic Co2VGa, Co2MnGa, and Ni, ferrimagnetic Mn2CoGa, and paramagnetic Pt. We found that all the Heusler compounds exhibit impressively high intrinsic activity. Most importantly, the presence of a magnetic field can change the HER efficiency significantly, regardless of the magnetic state of the catalyst. We observed boosting HER kinetics for ferromagnetic Ni and paramagnetic Pt, and a decrease of efficiency for ferro/ferrimagnetic Heusler alloys. Our calculations suggest that the binding
