Recommendation:I

do

not

understand

the

ideas

behind

the

calculations.

Fig

indicates

a

proton

which

must

come

from

the

electrolyte,

and

also

an

electron,

which

must

come

from

the

external

circuit.

Fig.

and

the

discussion

on

p.2

electron

and

proton

transfer

are

treated

as

separate

steps.

In

fact,

they

occur

simultaneously

or

concerted.

Therefore

at

least

surface

II

in

Fig.

makes

no

sense.

Also,

I

have

no

idea

what

is

meant

by

the

coordinate

in

this

plot.Response:Wedon’tthinkelectronandprotontransferoccursimultaneously.Infact,protonsaremorelikelytoadsorbonanionsornegativelychargedsystems,becausetheyhavelargerprotonaffinitiesandcanreleasemoreheatuponadsorption.Incontrast,protonadsorptiononneutralsystemsismoredifficultduetotheirsmallerprotonaffinities(seeJolly,WilliamL.“ModernInorganicChemistry”,fortheprotonaffinitiesofbothneutralandchargedmolecule).Inaddition,reactivedynamicstudiesalsoshowthattheadsorptionbarrierofprotonsishigherforneutralsystems,indicatingthatelectrontransfershouldbepriortoprotonadsorption(J.Am.Chem.Soc.,2015,137(20),6692–6698).Nevertheless,weaddasentence“Therefore,theoverallVolmerreactioncanbeseparatedintoapriorelectronadditionprocessandasubsequentprotonadsorptionprocess,whichisenergeticallymorefavorablethantheoppositeorder.37”inthefirstparagraphofSec.IItomakethediscussionmoreconvictive.Theabscissalabel‘coordinate’inFig.1(b)referstotheionicnuclearconfiguration,i.e.thegeometriesofthecatalyst.Thepotentialenergycurvesschematicallydepicttheenergychangeofamaterialwithvaryingnuclearcoordinate.Similarpotentialsurfaceplotscanbefoundinmanyotherliteratures(e.g.BiochimicaetBiophysicaActa811(1985)265-322).Forthepurposeofmoreunderstandable,asentence“Theabscissalabel‘coordinate’referstotheionicnuclearconfiguration.”hasbeenaddedinthecaptionofFig.1(b).1920One

thing

that

comes

to

mind

is

support

interactions.

The

authors

calculate

for

free

standing

monolayer,

but

any

real

HER

catalyst

would

have

to

be

supported.

Recently,

DFT

calculations

(e.g.,

Nano

Lett.

2014,

14,

1381−1387)

have

shown

that

support

interactions

can

have

a

profound

effect

on

the

hydrogen

adsorption

free

energy.

Hence,

for

any

correlation

with

experimental

results

support

interactions

would

likely

be

important

to

include.

Could

the

authors

comment

on

that?

Are

the

conclusions

likely

to

change

if

support

interactions,

including

strain,

are

included?Response:WeincludeaparagraphofdiscussionontheinfluenceofsupportinteractionsattheendofSec.IIIsincewefeelthatitisindeedanimportantissuetobeconsidered.Wesuggestthatsupportinteractionsmayaffectthebasal-planecatalyticactivitybecauseofthepossibleelectrontransferbetweenasupportandthecatalystonit.Foradonor-typesupport,suchasAu(111),electronstransferfromthesupporttothecatalyst,
