Leveraging electrochemical double layer structure to rationally control electrolysis
Gong Zhang, Marcel Schreier
Abstract
This perspective delves into the electrochemical microenvironment, uncovering entropic effects in CO2 reduction, revealing neutral molecule electrosorption under polarization, highlighting challenges in the classical double layer model, and proposing research approaches for future interface studies.
