Enhanced electrocatalytic activity on gold nanocrystals enclosed by high-index facets for oxygen reduction

发表刊物：Nano Energy

摘要：The physical nature (e.g. crystal size or surface atomic arrangement) of an electrocatalyst is central to the performance of electrochemical devices such as fuel cells and lithium-air batteries. This is particularly true in electrodes for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which involve multiple elementary steps and a substantial energy barrier. As a result, OER and ORR generally are rate-limiting step in electrode reactions. Here, we show Au nanocrystals enclosed by high-index facets (e.g. (310)) are more energetically and kinetically favorable than (111) fac
