Hydrogen-evolution-reaction kinetics pH dependence: Is it covered?

Abstract

Writing in Joule, Surendranath and coworkers report intrinsic hydrogen-evolution-reaction activity and kinetic parameters for Pt and Au electrodes using "innocent” buffers that don't substantially affect electrode kinetics. A pH- and potential-dependent coverage of metal-H species is proposed to modulate apparent activity, findings that are important for a range of electrochemical technologies.
