Strain-engineering can be used to increase the activity and selectivity of an electrocatalyst. Tensile strain is known to improve the electrocatalytic activity of palladium electrodes for reduction of carbon dioxide or dioxygen, but determining how strain affects the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is complicated by the fact that palladium can absorb hydrogen concurrently with HER. We report here a custom electrochemical cell that applies tensile strain to a flexible working electrode that enabled us to resolve how tensile strain
