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).

A Perspective on the Applications of Triphasic Gas Storage in Electrochemical Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gas storage in microporous materials positioned locally at an electrode or electrocatalyst surface enhances electrochemical processes. Abstract Microporous materials store gases under dry conditions (e.g., hydrogen or oxygen via physisorption), but in some cases microporous materials also show triphasic (e.g., in a solid|gas|liquid system) gas storage ...
