Happy to share my last research contribution from my #PhD guided by @JoaquinResasco and @DeliaMilliron published in @ACSEnergyLett! When will we observe cation effects in electrocatalysis? Let's go! 👇🏼 (1/n) doi.org/10.1021/acsenergylet…
Surface Charge Predicts the Presence of Cation Effects in Electrocatalysis

Surface Charge Predicts the Presence of Cation Effects in Electrocatalysis

Abstract. The identity of electrolyte cations has an important influence on the rates of many electrocatalytic reactions, but these effects are not always

On the other hand, over Ag we only see cation effects for hydrogen evolution because it is the only reaction whose operating potential is negative of its PZC range. (3/n)
