Modeling the Electrode / Electrolyte Interface in UHV at Cryogenic Temperatures

Adobe Acrobat File
The electrochemical “double layer” is one of the fundamental concepts in electrochemistry. This layer forms at electrode / liquid interfaces in solution and affects processes like electron transfer, corrosion, and electrocatalysis. Understanding the structure of this interface is critical to improving electrochemical technologies. Previous studies from this group have involved characterization of the molecular structure of the electrode/ electrolyte interface in aqueous and nonaqueous environments using both in-situ and ex-situ (emersed from solution) strategies.
