In this study, the active site of a single Pt atom supported on indium tin oxide for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) was theoretically investigated using density functional theory calculations and grand canonical basin hopping. It was found that the ligands on the Pt atom change from Pt-OH to PtO(OH)4 under electrochemical conditions, resulting in a decrease of 0.3 V for the OER overpotential. This highlights the importance of accurately identifying the nature of the active site under reaction conditions and the impact of adsorbates on the electrocatalytic activity. This theoretical investigation enhances our understanding of SACs for the OER.
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have attracted attention for their high catalytic activity and selectivity, but the nature of their active sites under realistic reaction conditions, involving various ligands, is not well-understood. In this study, we use density functional theory calculations and grand canonical basin hopping to theoretically investigate the active site for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on a single Pt atom supported on indium tin oxide, including the influence of the electrochemical potential. We show that the ligands on the Pt atom change from Pt-OH in the absence of electrochemical potential to PtO(OH)4 in electrochemical conditions. This change of the chemical state of Pt is associated with a decrease of 0.3 V for the OER overpotential. This highlights the importance of accurately identifying the nature of the active site under reaction conditions and the impact of adsorbates on the electrocatalytic activity. This theoretical investigation enhances our understanding of SACs for the OER.
