Periodic Reporting for period 1 - ORRmetIR (Development and in situ Infrared study of Novel Strained Core-shell Electrocatalysts: Towards an Understanding of the Oxygen Reduction Mechanism)

The overall objectives: The project is directed towards understanding the reduction of oxygen gas to water on supported metal nanoparticles for fuel cell catalysis. This project uses absorption of infrared light to learn about intermediates in this reaction as it occurs on...
