Rerouting Oxygen Evolution Through Interfacial Carbonate Chemistry in Near‐Neutral Seawater Electrolysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Carbonate species play a previously overlooked role in near‐neutral seawater electrocatalysis. By coupling electrochemical hydrodynamics with mesoscopic simulations, we reveal a plausible carbonate‐mediated route in which carbonate functions as an interfacial proton acceptor and water as the oxygen donor, showing a possible mechanistic picture of ...
