Understanding fuel cell catalysis : The electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen to two protons involves a major reorganization of the solvent. The reaction can be catalyzed by electrodes that have a d band near the Fermi level interacting strongly with hydrogen (see the potential surface for the oxidation of H 2 on platinum).
