讲座内容介绍：While the performance of an electrocatalyst depends on its structure and composition, there is also a drastic and so far not well-understood influence of the electrolyte composition on the catalyst activity. In other words, today’s electrocatalysis normally operates with a paradigm that there are only two major ways of increasing the rate of a catalytic reaction at a given electrode surface. The first one involves the modification of the electrode surface structure in order to maximize the active sites. The second one deals with optimization of the electrode composition. Both approaches often exclude a very important part of the “activity equation”: the electrolytes. Interestingly, when the structure and composition of the electrode surface are fixed, the influence of the “inert” electrolyte species is often drastic. Therefore, the resulting electrocatalyst performance is a combination of at least three major factors, namely electrode surface structure, electrode composition and electrolyte composition. In the lecture, several concepts explaining the “electrolyte effect” in electrocatalysis will be presented and discussed.
