Topics in Number 50 include: • Investigation of alloy cathode Electrocatalysts • A model Hamiltonian that incorporates the solvent effect to gas-phase density functional theory (DFT) calculations • DFT-based theoretical analysis of ORR mechanisms • Structure of the polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) • ORR investigated through a DFT-Green function analysis of small clusters • Electrocatalytic oxidation and hydrogenation of chemisorbed aromatic compounds on palladium Electrodes • New models that connect the continuum descriptions with atomistic Monte Carlo simulations • ORR reaction in acid revisited through DFT studies that address the complexity of Pt-based alloys in electrocatalytic processes • Use of surface science methods and electrochemical techniques to elucidate reaction mechanisms in electrocatalytic processes • In-situ synchrotron spectroscopy to analyze electrocatalysts dispersed on nanomaterials   From reviews of previous volumes:   “Continues the valuable service that has been rendered by the Modern Aspects series.” —Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry   “Extremely well-referenced and very readable.... Maintains the overall high standards of the series.” —Journal of the American Chemical Society.
