ABSTRACTWe have performed first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate how subsurface 3d transition metals M (M = Ni, Co, Fe, Ti, or V) affect the energetics and mechanisms of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the outermost Pt mono-surface layer of Pt/M (111) surfaces. We found that the alteration of the ORR mechanism pathway can explain the activity enhancement for ORR on the Pt/M (111) surfaces.
