Abstract
The potential of Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26 to catalyze the ORR pathways has been investigated. The possible mechanisms and corresponding parameters for reaction steps of ORR on Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26 have been investigated. The adsorption of Scandium atoms on Si52, C52 and Al26P26 nanocages can be improved the stability of Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26 nanocages, significantly. The adsorption energy (Eadsorption) of Scandium atoms on Si52, C52 and Al26P26 nanocages to create the Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26 are -4.13, -4.25 and -4.52 eV, respectively. The Sc atoms of Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26 are active sites for adsorption of species as the first step of ORR on studied catalysts. The formation of *OH-OH* is the rate-determining step on surfaces of Sc-Si52, Sc-C52 and Sc-Al26P26. The Sc-Al26P26 for ORR pathways has lower over-potential than Sc-Si52 and Sc-C52. Finally, the Sc-Al26P26 nano-catalyst is suggested as available catalyst for ORR processes with low over-potential and high efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Ionics is publishing original results in the fields of science and technology of ionic motion. This includes theoretical, experimental and practical work on electrolytes, electrode, ionic/electronic interfaces, ionic transport aspects of corrosion, galvanic cells, e.g. for thermodynamic and kinetic studies, batteries, fuel cells, sensors and electrochromics. Fast solid ionic conductors are presently providing new opportunities in view of several advantages, in addition to conventional liquid electrolytes.
