The study of chemical processes involving electron transfer, including batteries, fuel cells, corrosion, electroplating, electroanalysis, and the development of electrochemical sensors and energy storage devices
3 papersThis tutorial review simplifies synthetic electrochemistry for chemists, explaining core concepts like electron transfer, reaction setups, and common reaction types. It aims to bridge the knowledge gap and encourage broader adoption of electrochemistry in organic synthesis by providing practical guidance and examples.
This study found that water on the anatase (101) surface of TiO2 exists in a dynamic equilibrium of both molecular and dissociated forms, with the molecular form being more stable. A small fraction (5.6%) of water dissociates, forming short-lived hydroxyl groups, through a concerted proton transfer mechanism involving a mediating water molecule.
This study uses molecular simulations and experiments to explain the two peaks in the capacitance of an electrode-electrolyte interface, revealing that they originate from ion adsorption and structural changes in the water layer near the electrode. It also shows that modifying the water layer structure using crown ethers can alter the electric field and thus influence CO2 reduction reaction activity.
