Journal ArticleDOI

Universality in Oxygen Reduction Electrocatalysis on Metal Surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the activity volcano for oxygen reduction from the face-centered cubic (fcc) metal (111) facet to the (100) facet, and show the existence of a universal activity volcano to describe oxygen reduction electrocatalysis with a minimum overpotential, ηmin = 0.37 ± 0.1 V.
Journal ArticleDOI

Location and coordination of promoter atoms in Co- and Ni-promoted MoS2-based hydrotreating catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the atomic-scale structure of the active Co- or Ni-promoted MoS2 nanoclusters in hydrotreating catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active edge sites in MoSe2 and WSe2 catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction: a density functional study

TL;DR: The results suggest that an optimal catalyst design should maximize the exposure of edge sites, and explain the enhanced activity at the edges in terms of localized edge states, which provide insight into the trends in HER activity seen between the two catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure Sensitivity of the Methanation Reaction: H2 induced CO dissociation on nickel surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combined extensive density functional theory calculations, ultra-high vacuum experiments on well-defined single crystals, and catalytic activity measurements on supported catalysts in a study of the dissociation mechanism of CO on Ni surfaces.
