Structure-property relationships in carbon electrochemistry

Enhancing electrocatalytic activity in metallic thin films through surface segregation of carbon

“…On a PyC electrode surface, the DA reaction is reported to be highly dependent on the amount of oxygen and the nature of oxygen functional groups. 53 The cyclic voltammetry response of the Cr/Si annealed sample is provided for 10 cycles at 100 mV s À1 in 100 mM DA (Fig. S5A, ESI †), indicating that the response remains similar after several cycles.…”

Correlation between microstructure and surface chemistry of carbon nanofibers grown using different adhesive layers

“…The surface chemistry of CNFs, in turn, depends on their microstructure [13]. It has been shown that the electrochemical properties of carbon-based nanomaterials are sensitive to small changes in their structural properties [18]. Therefore, in order to optimize the materials for a desired application, a thorough understanding of their surface chemistry is needed.…”
