Sethuraman, Andrew A. Peterson,* and Pradeep R. Guduru* Abstract : Understanding the role of elastic strain in modifying ship relates the d-band center to reaction rates and the catalytic reaction rates is crucial for catalyst design, but volcano plot.[4] experimentally, this effect is often coupled with a ligand Early experimental evidence of strain effects on phenom- effect. To isolate the strain effect, we have investigated the ena related to catalysis was reported by Gsell et al.[5] who influence of externally applied elastic strain on the catalytic demonstrated that O adsorption on Ru could be enhanced activity of metal films in the hydrogen evolution reaction under tensile strain. The lattice strain effect on HER activity (HER). We show that elastic strain tunes the catalytic activity in was also studied by Wolfschmidt using a Pt-modified Au(111) a controlled and predictable way. Both theory and experiment catalyst ; it was shown that monoatomically high Pt islands on show strain controls reactivity in a controlled manner con- Au(111)
