A thermodynamic model predicting the disappearance of the underpotential deposition phenomenon in the limit of small nanoparticles is proposed and developed for selected families of geometric bodies. The key parameters are ...

Gas-producing electrochemical reactions are key to energy conversion and generation technologies. Bubble formation dramatically decreases gas-production rates on nanoelectrodes, by confining the reaction to the electrode ...

The ultimate control of the interfaces of nanocomposite materials is essential to tailor and improve their physical/chemical properties in applications such as catalysis and energy storage and production. Fabrication and ...

The discovery and development of novel approaches, materials and manufacturing processes in the field of energy are compelling increasing recognition as a major challenge for contemporary societies. The performance and ...

A controlled architecture of nanoelectrodes, of a similar size to small molecule-binding aptamers, is synthesized inside nanoporous alumina. Gold nanoparticles with a controlled size (about 2 nm) are electrogenerated in ...

External control of chemical processes is a subject of widespread interest in chemical research, including control of electrocatalytic processes with significant promise in energy research. The electrochemical double-layer ...
