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

“…With these observations we construct a mechanistic model in which I-PCET is not a single step, but a multi-step reaction sequence in which elementary I-PCET is gated by an ion exchange reaction between proton donor/acceptor species and proton-neutral supporting electrolyte at the electrode-electrolyte interface. These findings demonstrate how supporting electrolyte can be leveraged as a design parameter to independently control electrolyte pH and the rates of I-PCET-based reactions.…”
