Abstract The hydrogen evolution and nitrite reduction reactions are key to producing green ammonia. Antenna–reactor nanoparticles hold promise improve the performances of these transformations under visible‐light excitation, by combining plasmonic catalytic materials. However, current materials involve compromising either on activity or enhancement also lack control reaction selectivity. Here, we demonstrate that ultralow loadings non‐uniform surface segregation component optimize...

Electrochemical systems are ideal working-horses for studying oscillatory dynamics. Experimentally obtained time series, however, usually associated with a spontaneous drift in some uncontrollable parameter that triggers transitions among different patterns, despite the fact all controllable parameters kept constant. Herein we present an empirical method to stabilize experimental potential series. The consists of applying negative galvanodynamic sweep compensate and was tested...

Despite the fact that majority of catalytic electro-oxidation small organic molecules presents oscillatory kinetics under certain conditions, there are few systematic studies concerning influence experimental parameters on dynamics. Of available, most devoted to C1 and just some scattered data available for C2 molecules. We present in this work a comprehensive study ethylene glycol polycrystalline platinum surfaces alkaline media. The system was studied by means electrochemical impedance...

Plasmonic catalysis has been employed to enhance molecular transformations under visible light excitation, leveraging the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in plasmonic nanoparticles. While for accelerating reaction rates, achieving control over selectivity remained a challenge. In addition, incorporation of catalytic components into traditional plasmonic-catalytic antenna-reactor nanoparticles often leads decrease optical absorption. To address these issues, this study focuses on...

It is described in this paper the experimental observation of oscillatory dynamics during electrocatalytic oxidation methanol on platinum. Besides previously reported potential oscillations, current oscillations obtained under potentiostatic control are also presented. The existence region mapped an applied voltage x resistance bifurcation diagram. Conjointly with electrochemical investigations, situ FTIR spectroscopy was employed present studies. Although we were not able to follow eventual...

The problem of non-stationarity in experimentally recorded time-series is common many (electro)chemical systems. Underlying this the slow drift some uncontrollable parameter, and it occurs spite fact that all controllable parameters are kept constant. Particularly for electrochemical systems, us have recently suggested [J. Phys. Chem. C, 144, (2010), 22262-22268] an empirical method to stabilize experimental time-series. was exemplified electro-oxidation methanol different patterns were...

We report the effect of alkali cation (Li+, Na+, and K+) on oscillatory electro-oxidation ethylene glycol in alkaline media. As experimentally verified, nature strongly impacts waveform frequency potential oscillations. The oscillation frequencies decrease order KOH > NaOH LiOH, which also corresponds to ascending surface blockage due noncovalent interactions. On other hand, estimated rate constant poison formation, kp, under regime is higher presence rather than NaOH, both acting as...
