Electrocatalysis beyond surface reaction energetics — •Karen Chan — Fysikvej, Building 311, Room 4, Kongens Lyngby Denmark 2200
Beyond surface reaction energetics, the structure and composition of the electric double layer exerts an influence on the activity and selectivity of electrochemical reactions. In this talk, I first discuss the impact of pH and the electrolyte on electrocatalytic activity from the perspective of adsorbate-field interactions. I then discuss the impact of mass transport on activity and selectivity. I draw examples from hydrogen evolution and CO2 electroreduction reduction.
