Abstract
Porous Ag has good electron conductivity and is one of the typical oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) catalysts. In order to investigate the mechanism of porous Ag for ORR, the relaxed structure and detailed partial density of states are determined using density-functional theory. Among multiple possible active sites, the overpotential of porous Ag is 0.50 V, which is better than that of Ag (111) at 0.62 V. After doping Pt and Pd, the overpotentials are 0.47 V and 0.49 V, respectively. Furthermore, the introduction of a transition metal has led to changes in the charge distribution on the catalyst surface, which has resulted in improved catalytic performance. By investigating the synergistic effects between doped transition metals and ORR intermediates, this can facilitate the development of catalysts with higher activity and better stability.
