Tip?Enhanced Electric Field: A New Mechanism Promoting Mass Transfer in Oxygen Evolution Reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The slow kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) causes high power consumption for electrochemical water splitting. Various strategies have been attempted to accelerate the OER rate, but there are few studies on regulating transport reactants especially under large current densities when mass transfer factor dominates reactions. Herein, NixFe1–x alloy nanocones arrays (with ?2 nm surface NiO/NiFe(OH)2 layer) adopted boost reactants. Finite element analysis suggests that high-curvature tips can enhance local electric field, which induces an order magnitude higher concentration hydroxide ions (OH?) at active sites and promotes intrinsic activity by 67% 1.5 V. Experimental results show a fabricated NiFe nanocone array electrode, with optimized composition, has small overpotential 190 mV 10 mA cm?2 255 500 cm?2. When calibrated area, electrode outperforms state-of-the-art electrocatalysts. positive effect tip-enhanced field in promoting is also confirmed comparing samples different tip curvature radii. It suggested this enhanced generic other catalysts.

A simple physical chemical method of transferring genes into eucaryotic cells is described. Electric impulses in the intensity range of 5-10 kV/cm with a duration of 5-10 bs were found to appreciably increase the uptake of DNA into cells. After electric field treatment, stable transformants were obtained in a system containing mouse cells deficient in thymidine kinase and a plasmid DNA harbouri...

The geometry about oxygen in the transition-state structures for oxygen transfers from a nitrone to phosphorous, from a percarboxylic acid to a carbon–carbon double bond, and from an N-sulfonyl oxaziridine to a carbon–carbon double bond have been evaluated by the endocyclic restriction test. The former can proceed at an oblique angle, while the latter two require a large angle between the enter...
