Mechanistic Studies of Interfacial Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer to Molecularly Defined Surface Sites by Lewis, Noah B.

“…Despite I-PCET reactions’ integral role in electrochemical energy storage and value-added chemical synthesis, molecular-scale models for I-PCET mechanisms have historically been lacking. The general heterogeneity and dynamism of electrode surfaces make it difficult to identify relevant surface active sites and therefore nearly impossible to correctly assign changes in reactivity between surface-based or electrolyte-based effects. …”
