Electrochemical Mapping Reveals Direct Correlation between Heterogeneous Electron‐Transfer Kinetics and Local Density of States in Diamond Electrodes

Abstract

Conducting carbon materials: a multi-microscopy approach shows that local heterogeneous electron-transfer rates at conducting diamond electrodes correlate with the local density of electronic states. This model of electroactivity is of considerable value for the rational design of conducting diamond electrochemical technologies, and also provides key general insights on electrode structure controls in electrochemical kinetics.
