Rational Design of Competitive Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Rational Design of Competitive Electrocatalysts for Hydrogen Fuel Cells

[J. Phys. Chem. Letts. 3, 463 (2012)] The hydrogen fuel cells convert chemical energy stored by hydrogen molecules into electric energy and the only product of this reaction is clean water. However, large-scale practical applications of these very promising sources of clean renewable energy are still restricted by unacceptably high cost of platinum-based catalysts that are […]

Explaining the negative thermal expansion of Pt nanoparticles and their unexpectedly low “mean-squared amplitude” T-dependence (EXAFS selectivity)

Explaining the negative thermal expansion of Pt nanoparticles and their unexpectedly low “mean-squared amplitude” T-dependence (EXAFS selectivity)

[Phys. Rev. B 84, 245438 (2011)] As experimentalist design better and better techniques to investigate nanoscale systems, anomalous electronic and thermodynamic properties for nanoparticles (NPs) continue being reported. Yet, despite several years of investigations, the origin of these effects was, until recently, still heavily debated. Among the inexplicable “anomalies”, I have focused on understanding those reported […]
