Periodicity in the Electrochemical Dissolution of Transition Metals

Abstract

Extensive researchefforts are currently dedicated to the search for new electrocatalyst materials in whichexpensive and rare noble metals are replaced with cheaper and more abundant transition metals.Recently,numerous alloys,oxides, and composites with such metals have been identified as highly active electrocatalysts through the use of high-throughput screening methods with the help of activity descriptors.U pt o this point, stability has lacked such descriptors.H ence,w e elucidate the role of intrinsic meta…
