The two-dimensional polymerization and reaction at the solid/liquid interface has caused considerable attention in recent years because of its fundamental importance and many potential applications. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) provides the possibility for the observation and manipulation of polymerization and reaction occurring at the solid/liquid interface at the atomic level. Two-dime...

Microbial bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) utilize living microorganisms to drive oxidation and reduction reactions at solid electrodes. BESs could potentially be used at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to recover the energy content of organic matter, to produce chemicals useful at the site, or to monitor and control biological treatment processes. In this paper, we review bioele...

In situations involving large potentials or surface charges, the Poisson-Boltzman (PB) equation has shortcomings because it neglects ion-ion interactions and steric effects. This has been widely recognized by the electrochemistry community, leading to the development of various alternative models resulting in different sets "modified PB equations," which have had at least qualitative success in...

The electrostatic attraction between electrons and nuclei is a fundamental force in electrochemistry. This drives the interaction nuclei, providing potential for redox reactions. As result, it basis of chemistry. In recent years, organic electrochemistry has made significant progress oxidative hydrogen evolution coupling sacrificial anode electroreduction, thanks to its efficient environmentall...

Immobilized first-row transition metal complexes are potential low-cost electrocatalysts for selective CO2 conversion in the production of renewable fuels. Mechanistic understanding their function is vital development next-generation catalysts, although poor surface sensitivity many techniques makes this challenging. Here, a nickel bis(terpyridine) complex introduced as reduction electrocatalys...

Abstract Solid–liquid interfaces are ubiquitous in scientifically and technologically important systems, they govern complex chemophysical processes such as those electrochemistry heterogeneous catalysis. Atomic‐level elucidation of interfacial structures has been extensively pursued; however, related research is still limited. A major obstacle lies the intrinsic character interfaces: located b...

G.T. Hinckley and P.A. Frey, Anal. Biochem. 349 (2005) 103. One of the most common applications of cyclic voltammetry is to examine the effects of different substituents (e.g., alkyl groups, phosphines, etc.) on the redox potentials of organic molecules and transition-metal-based coordination compounds. The authors of this article used the BASi CV-50W to investigate the electronic effects of a ...

Noble metal nanoparticles with plasmon resonance features have been widely applied in electrocatalysis and photo-electrochemistry owing to their unique physical, optical, catalytic properties. As heterogeneity of nanostructures has considerable influence on activities, investigation electrochemical process a single nano-catalyst is necessary eliminate bulk effect averaged results. Dark-field mi...
