Rational design of efficient transition metal core– shell electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (open access)

Rational design of efficient transition metal core– shell electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions

This article systematically calculates polyicosahedral (plh) Ag₃₂X₆ (X = 3d transition metals) core-shell structures by the density functional theory (DFT) method to predict their electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction and evolution reactions.
