The use of Electrochemistry to activate and precisely tune the catalytic activity of metals and metal oxide catalyst-electrodes in contact with solid and aqueous electrolytes has been described in the literature for more than seventy catalytic reactions [1].The phenomenon is known as electrochemical promotion of catalysis (EPOC) or non-Faradaic electrochemical modification of catalytic activity (NEMCA effect,Fig.1).[1-3]
