[EN] In spite of the fact that the formic acid oxidation reaction on electrode surfaces has been extensively investigated, a detailed mechanism explaining all the available experimental evidence on platinum has not been ...
DFT studies on platinum stepped surfaces have been carried out in order to understand the differences in the electrochemical behavior between the surfaces with (111) and (100) terraces. Thus, adsorption energies of different ...

[EN] The formic acid oxidation reaction has been studied in concentrated perchloric acid solutions (up to 9.14M (60%)) on the Pt (111) surface to explore the relationships between interfacial properties and kinetics. It ...
[EN] To optimize nitrogen-doped graphitic materials as metal-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction mechanisms have to be better understood. Here, the role played by pyridinic nitrogen-dopants in the chemisorption-based ...

The engineered search for new catalysts requires a deep knowledge about reaction mechanisms. Here, with the support of a combination of computational and experimental results, the oxidation mechanism of formic acid on ...
[EN] The performance of many advanced catalytic systems depends not only on the size and composition but also on the specific shape of the metal nanoparticles (NPs) from which they are assembled. In turn, the shape of ...
