First-Principles Study of Pt-Based Bifunctional Oxygen Evolution & Reduction Electrocatalyst: Interplay of Strain and Ligand Effects

We examined the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of Pt-based Pt<sub>3</sub>M/Pt nanoalloy catalysts (where M represents a 3d transition metal) for bifunctional electrocatalysts using spin-polarized density functional theory calculations. First, the stab...
