Oxygen-Containing Nanoclusters on the Surface of Pt-Electrodes and Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Alkaline Medium by Aleksey M. Trunov

“…A new concept, according to which EIES is determined by the Gibbs energy of formation of oxygen-containing surface structures with inclusions of surface defects of the platinum crystal structure, Pts,d, is formulated. A correlation between the level of EIES of Pt-electrodes and packing density of Pts,d atoms on the surface of Pt(hkl) monocrystals is determined. …”

Quantum mechanical study of the influence of noble metals on the process of reduction of uranium oxides by A.S. Vorob'ev, A.Y. Galashev, Yu P. Zaikov

“…Silver and gold initiate the process of direct reduction of uranium oxides more efficiently than platinum and palladium. The electronic conductivity of the reduced oxide in the presence of Ag and Au appears when there is a greater amount of oxygen in the system than is the case in the presence of Pt or Pd in the system.…”
