The potential of the electron for the serial oxygen reduction reaction is calculated by DFT in an aqueous solution in the presence and absence of Cu(acac)2 complex. The study provides interesting information about the rational design of complex–semiconductor hybrid photocatalysts and cathodes for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
