Relation between surface structural and chemical properties of platinum nanoparticles and their catalytic activity in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

The disproportionation of H₂O₂ to H₂O and molecular O₂ catalyzed by platinum nanocatalysts is technologically very important in several energy conversion technologies, such as steam propellant thrust applications and hydrogen fuel cells. However, the mechanism of H₂O₂ decomposition on platinum has b...
