Comparing interfacial cation hydration at catalytic active sites and spectator sites on gold electrodes: understanding structure sensitive CO 2 reduction kinetics

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Site-specific vibrational probes were used to elucidate the interfacial solvation structure between catalytic active sites and inactive sites on a Au electrode to reveal a unique, opposing cation-dependent double layer structure at active sites.
