Effect of hydrophobic cations on the oxygen reduction reaction on single‒crystal platinum electrodes

Highly active catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction are valuable for fuel cells. Here the authors evaluate catalytic activity of single-crystal platinum electrodes in acidic solutions that contain hydrophobic cations, which prevent the adsorption of poisoning species and form an efficient inte...
