Benchmarking Hydrogen Evolving Reaction and Oxygen Evolving Reaction Electrocatalysts for Solar Water Splitting Devices

TL;DR: A standard protocol is used as a primary screen for evaluating the activity, short-term (2 h) stability, and electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of 18 and 26 electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER and OER) under conditions relevant to an integrated solar water-splitting device in aqueous acidic or alkaline solution.

Efficiency of ab-initio total energy calculations for metals and semiconductors using a plane-wave basis set

TL;DR: A detailed description and comparison of algorithms for performing ab-initio quantum-mechanical calculations using pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set is presented in this article. But this is not a comparison of our algorithm with the one presented in this paper.

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism.

TL;DR: Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced.

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.

Iterative minimization techniques for ab initio total-energy calculations: molecular dynamics and conjugate gradients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe recent technical developments that have made the total-energy pseudopotential the most powerful ab initio quantum-mechanical modeling method presently available, and they aim to heighten awareness of the capabilities of the method in order to stimulate its application to as wide a range of problems in as many scientific disciplines as possible.
