Theoretical calculation of activation energies for Pt + H(Super +)(aq) + e(Super -)(U) left and right arrow Pt-H: Activation energy-based symmetry factors in the marcus normal and inverted regions
Article Abstract:
The electrode-potential-dependent activation energies are calculated using the interface model for the reduction of the hydronium ion to form the Pt-H bond and for the reverse oxidation reaction over the -0.3 to 3.0 V range. The cathodic and anodic symmetry factors are determined from the slopes of the activation energy curves, which are used as models for the corresponding activation free energy curves.

Microkinetic modeling for water-promoted CO oxidation, water-gas shift, and preferential oxidation of CO on Pt
Article Abstract:
A comprehensive surface reaction mechanism on Pt that is capable of describing CO oxidation, H2 oxidation, water-gas shift, preferential oxidation of CO and the promoting role of H2O on CO oxidation is presented. The findings indicate that the facilitation of the disproportionate of H2O*, H2O8 + O* --> 2OH is a possible mechanism for low-temperature CO oxidation through the direct path.

Co9S8 as a catalyst for electroreduction of O2: Quantum chemistry predictions
Article Abstract:
Reversible potentials for the reaction steps involving electron and proton transfer are determined by using the energies in a linear Gibbs free energy relationship. On the basis of these results, it is found that the partially OH-covered (202) surface is active toward O2 reduction and should have over potential behavior similar to that of observed for platinum electrodes.
