An Atomistic View of Platinum Cluster Growth on Pristine and Defective Graphene Supports (Small 10/2023)

Abstract

Pristine and Defective Graphene Supports As platinum‐based materials are among the most efficient catalysts for the electrochemical processes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, especially for the oxygen reduction reaction, several groups have shown that the support material has a major influence on the coordinative stabilization and especially on the modification of the reactivity of the Pt‐cluster‐graphene combined material. In article number 2207484, Christoph Jung, Timo Jacob, and co‐workers investigate the growth and electronic structure of platinum clusters adsorbed on pristine and defective graphene supports using density functional theory calculations.
