Theoretical Study of Solvent Effects on the Platinum-Catalyzed Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Sha, Yao, Yu, Ted H., Liu, Yi, Merinov, Boris V., Goddard, William A.·2010·The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Abstract

We report here density functional theory (DFT) studies (PBE) of the reaction intermediates and barriers involved in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on a platinum fuel cell catalyst. Solvent effects were taken into account by applying continuum Poisson−Boltzmann theory to the bound adsorbates and to the transition states of the various reactions on the platinum (111) surface. Our calculations show that the solvent effects change significantly the reaction barriers compared with those in the gas-phase environment (without solvation). The O 2 dissociation barrier decreases from 0.58 to 0.27 eV, whereas the H + O → OH formation barrier increases from 0.73 to 1.09 eV. In the water-solvated phase, OH formation becomes the rate-determining step for both ORR mechanisms, O 2 dissociation and OOH association, proposed earlier for the gas-phase environment. Both mechanisms become significantly less favorable for the platinum catalytic surface in water solvent, suggesting that alternative mechanisms must be considered to describe properly the ORR on the platinum surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
