TL;DR: It is shown that bioinspired molecular clusters based on molybdenum and sulphur evolve hydrogen at rates comparable to that of platinum, and the current densities at the reversible potential match the requirement of a photoelectrochemical hydrogen production system with a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency in excess of 10%.

TL;DR: It is found that a copper nanoparticle covered electrode shows better selectivity towards hydrocarbons compared with the two other studied surfaces, an electropolished copper electrode and an argon sputtered copper electrode.

TL;DR: The most optimal catalyst for oxygen reduction has an ΔE(OH) ≈ 0.1 eV weaker than that of pure Pt, validating earlier theoretical predictions.

TL;DR: The electrochemical oxidation of CO is the prototypicalbifunctional reaction, especially where multi-functionality is needed and the control of a given surface on anatom-by-atom basis is particularly challenging.

TL;DR: In this article, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was studied experimentally on sputter-cleaned polycrystalline electrodes of Pt3Y, Pt5Y and Pt2Y under conditions relevant for low-temperature fuel cells.
