Electrocatalysis is central to the production of renewable fuels and high-value commodity chemicals. The electrolyte electrode together determine catalytic properties liquid/solid interface. In particular, cations can greatly change rates reaction selectivity many electrocatalytic processes. For this reason, careful choice cation an essential step in design interfaces with high for desired products. To make such a judicious choice, it critical understand where electric double layer reside...

Metal electrodes with rough surfaces are often found to convert CO or CO2 hydrocarbons and oxygenates high selectivity at reaction rates in comparison their smooth counterparts. The atomic-level morphology of a electrode is likely one key factor responsible for its comparatively catalytic activity. However, few methods capable probing the structure metal under electrocatalytic conditions. As result, nuances surface that control characteristics these have remained largely unexplored. Because...
