How potentials and electric fields together control reactions on catalyst surfaces
Researchers at the Interface Science Department (ISC) have shown that electrochemical reactions at solid-solution interfaces can be impacted by two closely related, yet, distinct factors. The applied potential can drive a reaction forward. Additionally, electric fields in the extended environment can modulate the ensembles that determine the activation parameters, without necessarily constituting…
