DFT insight into the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the Pt₃Co(111) surface
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are identified as future energy conversion devices, for application in portable and transportation devices. The preferred catalyst for the PEMFC is a Pt-catalyst. However, due to the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, high Pt loadings have to b...
