Development and applications of electrochemistry at soft interfaces and nanoparticles

Abstract

After discussing the fundamental issue of charge distributions at polarized interfaces, we present the concept of the “Discrete Helmholtz Model” for liquid-liquid interfaces and also for other non-metallic interfaces. We introduce the newly discovered ionosomes, which are nano liquid-liquid interfaces. We finish by presenting our work of water splitting using redox electrocatalysis in a batch mode, using an aqueous redox battery and finally using molecular electrocatalysts.
