Clues for the Molecular-Level Understanding of Electrocatalysis on Single-Crystal Platinum Surfaces Modified by p-Block Adatoms - Fuel Cell Catalysis: A Surface Science Approach - page 237

The good coincidence between the model and the experimental data depicted in
Fig. 7.14 supports the idea that this model captures the essential aspects of the
effect of different adatoms on the electrocatalysis of formic acid oxidation.
