We discuss some of the recent advances made in the first principles modeling of electrochemical catalysts. The key development is the ability to explicitly treat the effects of surface electrification due to electrochemical processes and applied voltages in a computationally efficient manner. The latter is achieved using a multiscale quantum-continuum approach that leverages an embedded polarizable continuum model to efficiently treat the electrolyte.
