Metal nanoparticles supported on a nonconductive oxide undergo pH-dependent spontaneous polarization by Wesley, Thejas S, Hülsey, Max J, Westendorff, Karl S, Lewis, Noah B, Crumlin, Ethan J, Román-Leshkov, Yuriy, Surendranath, Yogesh

“…Electrochemical polarization, which often plays a critical role in driving chemical reactions at solid–liquid interfaces, can arise spontaneously through the exchange of ions and/or electrons across the interface. However, the extent to which such spontaneous polarization prevails at nonconductive interfaces remains unclear because such materials preclude measuring and controlling the degree of interfacial polarization via standard (i.e., wired) potentiometric methods. …”

Electric field induced associations in the double layer of salt-in-ionic-liquid electrolytes by Markiewitz, Daniel M, Goodwin, Zachary AH, McEldrew, Michael, Pedro de Souza, J, Zhang, Xuhui, Espinosa-Marzal, Rosa M, Bazant, Martin Z

“…Here, we develop a theory for the electrical double layer (EDL) of SiILs where we consistently account for the thermoreversible association of ions into Cayley tree aggregates. The theory predicts that the IL cations first populate the EDL at negative voltages, as they are not strongly bound to the anions. …”
