• DFT-based theoretical analysis of ORR mechanisms

• Structure of the polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM)

• ORR investigated through a DFT-Green function analysis of small clusters

• Electrocatalytic oxidation and hydrogenation of chemisorbed aromatic compounds on palladium

Electrodes

• New models that connect the continuum descriptions with atomistic Monte Carlo simulations

• ORR reaction in acid revisited through DFT studies that address the complexity of Pt-based alloys in electrocatalytic processes

• Use of surface science methods and electrochemical techniques to elucidate reaction mechanisms in electrocatalytic processes
