Through synergism between the ligand effect, the d-band center shift, and the surface alloying effect, the Pd3CuNi@PdIr catalyst exhibits the poorest dioxygen adsorption and, consequently, the best catalytic ORR performance.

We report first-principles calculations on the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of O2 molecule adsorption on different graphenes (including pristine graphene (G–O2), N(nitrogen)/B(boron)-doped graphene (G–N/B–O2), and defective graphene (G–D–O2)) under equibiaxial strain. Our calculation results reveal that G–D–O2 possesses the highest binding energy, indicating that it owns the highest stability. Moreover, the stabilities of the four structures are enhanced enormously by the compressive strain larger than 2%. In addition, the band gaps of G–O2 and G–D–O2 exhibit direct and indirect transitions. Our work aims to control the graphene-based structure and electronic properties via strain engineering, which will provide implications for the application of new elastic semiconductor devices.
