Enhanced Fe 3d delocalization and moderate spin polarization in Fe-Ni atomic pairs for bifunctional ORR and OER electrocatalysis

Hongguan Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals the significant impact of the cooperative interplay between charge itineration and spin-polarization of electrons on catalytic behavior through density functional theory calculations. The Fe-Ni atomic pair is reported as a superior bifunctional catalyst for high performance ORR and OER, with a very small potential difference (Delta E) of 0.691 V. The coexistence of Fe 3d itinerant charge and moderate spin polarization is responsible for the superior functional catalytic activity for the Fe-Ni atomic pairs.
