Going platinum : The theoretical description of electrocatalytic phenomena is extremely challenging. A simple, density functional theory based model has been developed that is able to give a semiquantitative description of the reaction kinetics for the electrocatalytic oxygen reduction on several platinum binary alloys, Pt 3 M (see graph).
