Nonmonotonic Charging, Overscreening, and Ion Competition in the Electric Double Layer of Platinum Quantified by X-ray Spectroscopy

The electric double layer (EDL) is an integral part of the local reaction environment in electrocatalysis. Indeed, the strong electric fields and modified interfacial water structure accompanying ion accumulation in the EDL have been shown to impact the performance of nearly every electrocatalytic reaction. However,...
