Effects of the Alkane on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Well-Defined Pt Surfaces
Electrochemistry, 2020 Previous study shows that tetra-n-hexylammonium cation (THA+), which is composed of one nitrogen atom and four alkyl chains, increases the activity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt(111) eight times as high as that of bare Pt(111).
