1. Origin of the Overpotential for Oxygen Reduction at a Fuel-Cell CathodeThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B · 2004 · 13,292 citations

   We present a method for calculating the stability of reaction intermediates of electrochemical processes on the basis of electronic structure calculations. We used that method in combination with detailed density functional calculations to develop a detailed description of the free-energy…

2. Trends in the Exchange Current for Hydrogen EvolutionJournal of The Electrochemical Society · 2005 · 6,111 citations

   A density functional theory database of hydrogen chemisorption energies on close packed surfaces of a number of transition and noble metals is presented. The bond energies are used to understand the trends in the exchange current for hydrogen evolution. A…

3. Universality in Oxygen Evolution Electrocatalysis on Oxide SurfacesChemCatChem · 2011 · 4,801 citations

   Abstract Trends in electrocatalytic activity of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are investigated on the basis of a large database of HO* and HOO* adsorption energies on oxide surfaces. The theoretical overpotential was calculated by applying standard density functional theory…
