Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts that simultaneously enable green hydrogen production and water purification is essential for advancing sustainable energy and environmental technologies. In this study, we present Cu@Pd core-shell nanostructures fabricated through template-assisted electrodeposition of Cu, followed by galvanic Pd modification on pyrolytic graphite electrodes (PGEs). The optimised catalyst exhibited superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, with an onset potential of 70 mV, a low Tafel slope of 33 mV dec<sup>-1</sup> and excellent stability during prolonged HER operation. In addition to hydrogen evolution, Cu@Pd/PGE shows significantly enhanced nitrate reduction reaction (NRR) activity compared to Cu/PGE in both alkaline and neutral conditions. Under ideal conditions, the catalyst achieved 60% nitrate removal with high selectivity towards ammonia and minimal nitrite formation, emphasising its superior performance. This enhanced bifunctionality arises from the synergistic Cu-Pd interface, facilitating efficient nitrate adsorption and selective hydrogenation. Despite their high catalytic activity for both HER and NRR, the Cu@Pd nanostructures could often emerge as a versatile platform for integration into sustainable hydrogen production and an effective denitrification process.
