Origin of low CO2 selectivity on platinum in the direct ethanol fuel cell

Calculated answer: First-principles calculations have been applied to calculate the energy barrier for the key step in CO formation on a Pt surface (see picture; Pt blue, Pt atoms on step edge yellow) to understand the low CO 2 selectivity in the direct ethanol fuel cell. The presence of surface oxi...
