Atomistic Mechanism of Pt Extraction at Oxidized Surfaces: Insights from DFT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, we propose a novel mechanism for the atomic-level processes that lead to oxide formation and eventually Pt dissolution at an oxidized Pt(111) surface. The mechanism involves a Pt extraction step followed by the substitution of chemisorbed oxygen to the subsurface. The energy diagrams of these processes have been generated using density functional theory and were analyzed to determine the critical coverages of chemisorbed oxygen for the Pt extraction and Oads substitution steps. The Pt extraction process depends on two essential conditions: (1) the local coordination of a Pt surface atom by three chemisorbed oxygen atoms at nearest-neighboring fcc adsorption sites; (2) the interaction of the buckled Pt atom with surface water molecules. Results are discussed in terms of surface charging effects caused by oxygen coverage, surface strain effects, as well the contribution from electronic interaction effects. The utility of the proposed mechanism for the understanding of Pt stability at bimetallic surfaces will be demonstrated by evaluating the energy diagram of a CuML/Pt(111) near-surface alloy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
