Engineering the Interfaces of Superadsorbing Graphene‐Based Electrodes with Gas and Electrolyte to Boost Gas Evolution and Activation Reactions

Electrochemical gas evolution and activation reactions are complicated processes, involving not only active electrocatalysts but also the interaction among solid electrodes, electrolyte, and gas-phase products and reactants. In this study, multiphase interfaces of superadsorbing graphene-based electrodes were controlled without changing the active centers to significantly facilitate mass diffusion kinetics for superior performance. The achieved in-depth understanding of how to regulate the interfacial properties to promote the electrochemical performance could provide valuable clues for electrode manufacture and for the design of more active electrocatalysts.
