Origin of the Overpotential for Oxygen Reduction at a Fuel-Cell Cathode

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of reaction intermediates of electrochemical processes on the basis of electronic structure calculations was analyzed and a detailed description of the free energy landscape of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction over Pt(111) as a function of applied bias was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in the exchange current for hydrogen evolution

TL;DR: A density functional theory database of hydrogen chemisorption energies on close packed surfaces of a number of transition andnoble metals is presented in this article, where the bond energies are used to understand the trends in the exchange current for hydrogen evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of strain and ligand effects in the modification of the electronic and chemical properties of bimetallic surfaces

TL;DR: Periodic density functional calculations are used to illustrate how the combination of strain and ligand effects modify the electronic and surface chemical properties of Ni, Pd, and Pt monolayers supported on other transition metals.
