The influence of strain on catalytic activity has previously been examined directly by calculations and indirectly by experiments. The origin of the phenomenon has been attributed to strain-induced changes in the catalyst electronic structure. By employing a Pd-based metallic glass film capable of large elastic strains, we provide direct experimental evidence for catalytic activity being differently influenced by mechanically applied uniaxial tensile and compressive strains. We demonstrate the effect on the oxygen reduction reaction with cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves at different strain levels and compare X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) results for unstrained and strained (in uniaxial tension) specimens to confirm valence electron band shifts. The experimental findings are complemented by electronic structure calculations on single crystal Pd, as well as alloys with Cu and Si. The CV and XPS shifts observed in the experiments are consistent in both direction and magnitude to those predicted by theory for single crystal Pd.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
