Abstract

Solid electrolytes can be used as active catalyst supports to dramatically and reversibly alter the catalytic properties of porous metal films by electrically polarizing the metal-solid electrolyte interface. The common features of this effect, termed Non-faradaic Electrochemical Modification of Catalytic Activity (NEMCA), are summarized in the present work, together with the origin of the effect, which is due to the controlled change in catalyst work function and to the concomitant changes in the strength of chemisorptive bonds
