Alloys of platinum and early transition metals as oxygen reduction electrocatalysts

TL;DR: A new set of ORR electrocatalysts consisting of Pd or Pt alloyed with early transition metals such as Sc or Y, identified using density functional theory calculations as being the most stable Pt- and Pd-based binary alloys with ORR activity likely to be better than Pt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction on platinum and its alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the fundamentals underlying the reduction of oxygen on platinum and its alloys, and report the ORR activity of Pt5La for the first time, which shows a 3.5-to 4.5fold improvement in activity over Pt in the range 0.9 to 0.87 V.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enabling direct H2O2 production through rational electrocatalyst design

TL;DR: Electrochemical measurements on Pt-Hg nanoparticles show more than an order of magnitude improvement in mass activity, that is, A g(-1) precious metal, for H2O2 production, over the best performing catalysts in the literature.
