The Molecular Structural Basis of Electrode Kinetics.

Abstract

The overall objective is to develop fundamental understanding of the connections between the kinetics and mechanisms of heterogeneous electron-transfer reactions at metal electrolyte interfaces and the molecular structure of the reactant and the interfacial region. Overall tactics include a combination of electrochemical kinetic and thermodynamic measurements along with in-situ vibrational spectroscopies (Raman and infrared techniques). Together, these approaches enable molecular structural as well as kinetic information to be obtained for reactive electrochemical systems, thereby constituting new means of gaining a molecular-level understanding of electrode-solution systems. Keywords: Interface, Adsorption, Oxidation reduction reactions.
