摘要: Abstract The trends of the catalytic activity toward oxygen reaction reduction (ORR) from Pd44 nanoclusters to M6@Pd30Pt8 (M = Co, Ni, and Cu) core-shell was investigated using auxiliary density functional theory. adsorption energies O OH were computed as predictors ORR following tendency electrocatalytic computed: Pt44 ≈ M6@Pd30Pt8 > M6@Pd38 > Pd44. In addition, O2 on Ni6@Pd30Pt8 Pt44 investigated, finding an elongation O–O bond length when is adsorbed nanoclusters, suggesting that activated. Finally, stabilities M6@Pd38 analyzed both in vacuum oxidative environment. From calculated segregation for bimetallic trimetallic vacuum, it can be clearly observed M atoms prefer center nanoclusters. Nevertheless, with oxidizing environment tend decrease compared their counterparts which suggests environment, may segregate surface
