Research highlight: On the enhanced performance of Pt-based high-entropy alloys catalyst during water–gas shift reaction: A density functional theory study

The highlighted results are that

• The cocktail effect creates the unique heterogeneous form of the electron distribution generating the existence of electron donors together with electron acceptors on the HEA surface
• Formation of HEA can inhibit CO poisoning
• The most favorable pathway for WGSR on both Pt(111) and HEA(111) surfaces is the carboxyl pathway
• HEA formation can improve thermodynamic driving force of WGSR compared to Pt(111)
