Entropy–Enthalpy Compensation in Electrocatalytic Rates

Abstract Measuring the temperature dependence of electrocatalytic reaction rates is a powerful, yet underexplored, way of investigating the underlying kinetics. In this study, we develop the understanding behind such kinetic measurements. Through a very simple model of the surfac...

Noncovalent Metal–Water Polarization Governs Helmholtz Capacitance

Abstract Electrified metal–water interfaces govern charge storage and electrochemical reactivity, yet the microscopic origin of their metal-dependent Helmholtz capacitance has remained unresolved. Here, we use extensive density functional theory-based ab initio molecular dynamics...
