Electrochemical Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer of an Osmium Aquo Complex: Theoretical Analysis of Asymmetric Tafel Plots and Transfer Coefficients

摘要

Electrochemical proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) at metal-solution interfaces is significant in a broad range of energy devices, including photovoltaics and solar fuel cells. Although homogeneous PCET reactions have been studied extensively, electrochemical PCET reactions have only recently started to attract widespread interest.
