  • Descrição: In this work, first-principles calculations by using density functional theory at the GFN-xTB level, are performed to investigate the relative stability and structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of bimetallic Pt 13−n Ni n (n = 0, 3, 6, 9, 13) nanoclusters by using corrected Hammer and Nørskov model. In addition, by employing the reaction path and the energetic span models, the energy profile and the turnover frequency are calculated to disclose the corresponding reaction mechanism of the water-gas shift reaction catalyzed by these nanoclusters. Our findings render that Ni causes an overall shrinking of the nanocluster’s size and misalignment of the spin channels, increasing the magnetic nature of the nanoclusters. Pt 7 Ni 6 nanocluster is the most stable as a result of the better coupling between the Pt and Ni d -states. Pt 4 Ni 9 maintains its structure over the reaction cycle, with a larger turnover frequency value than Pt 7 Ni 6 . On the other hand, despite Pt 10 Ni 3 presenting the highest value of turnover frequency, it suffers a strong structural deformation over the completion of a reaction cycle, indicating that the catalytic activity can be altered.
