Considerations of Reference Electrodes and Liquid Junction Potentials for Accurate Electrocatalysis Studies

For lab-scale electrocatalysis studies, one typically uses a three-electrode system, which consists of working, counter (auxiliary), and reference electrodes, an electrolyte solution, and a reactor. In this system, it is important for accurate electrochemical studies to select an appropriate reference electrode for a particular electrolyte solution and recognize the presence/absence of liquid junction potential at the frit of a reference electrode. For instance, in alkaline water electrocatalysis experiments, Hg/HgO, Ag/AgCl, or saturated calomel electrode (SCE) is generally used as a reference electrode, and 1 M KOH/NaOH aqueous solution is utilized as an electrolyte solution.1 In this regard, the Ag/AgCl electrode and SCE are unsuitable for electrochemical studies with alkaline electrolytes, and among them, only the Hg/HgO electrode can be used instead.1 Furthermore, if the internal solution of a reference electrode and the external electrolyte solution are different in constituent and/or concentration, the liquid junction potential will be established at the frit of a reference electrode. In this case, to accurately know the potential applied to a working electrode, this liquid junction potential as well as the iR drop caused by solution resistance need to be considered and corrected appropriately. However, the liquid junction potential has so far been ignored in most of the electrocatalysis studies.In this work, we will discuss a method to experimentally estimate the liquid junction potential at the reference electrode frit using three-electrode systems with different combinations of electrolytes and reference electrodes. Herein, we will deal with alkaline water electrolysis systems as representatives. The as-estimated values of various liquid junction potentials will be compared with the theoretical values obtained using the Henderson equation2 and the stationary Nernst–Planck equation.3 Additionally, the guideline for selecting an appropriate reference electrode depending on the types of external electrolyte solutions will be discussed briefly. We believe that these findings can improve the accuracy of reporting potential-related parameters (e.g., overpotential, half-wave potential, onset potential, etc.) in three-electrode system-based electrocatalysis studies.

Uniform Asymptotic Expansion for the Incomplete Beta Function

In [Temme N.M., Special functions. An introduction to the classical functions of mathematical physics, A Wiley-Interscience Publication, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1996, Section 11.3.3.1] a uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete beta function was derived. It was not obvious from those results that the expansion is actually an asymptotic expansion. We derive a remainder estimate that clearly shows that the result indeed has an asymptotic property, and we also give a recurrence relation for the coefficients.

Theoretical study on the structures and dissociation processes of hexatomic sulphur

Using B3PW91/6-31+G(3d) method based on the density functional theory (DFT) we have investigated the potential energy hypersurface (PES) of hexasulphur (S 6). Eight stable isomeric structures are located and connected by eight transition states on the PES. Compared with previous theoretical results, the results of our method are in better agreement with the experimental ones. Especially, we have also studied two possible dissociation channels of S 6 based on the rule of bond breaking in unimolecular reaction [R.G. Pearson, Symmetry Rules for Chemical Reaction, Orbital Topology and Elementary Processes, A Wiley–Interscience Publication, 1976]. One is from the chair-shaped structure to 2S 3 through a transition state and the other is that the prism-shaped isomer dissociate to 3S 2 directly.

Simulation to many outside our field is the 'tool of last resort,' when all else fails ...... To many in the simulation field, we are conent in our modeling and simulation techniques primarily because, through experience, we have found that they work, at least most of the time. On the other hand, many computer scientist has looked askance at simulation since it is not a true hard science discipline; consider, for example, the many papers in which simulation is still considered an art.
