DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marc Koper Leiden University\, Netherlands\nZoom\nTitle:
  Electrolyte effects in electrocatalysis\n\nIn this talk\, I will present 
 some new results on the structure of the electrochemical double layer of p
 latinum and gold single crystal electrodes. I will show that the Gouy-Chap
 man-Stern theory cannot explain the double layer capacitance of these inte
 rfaces\, not even at low electrolyte concentrations. Based on these observ
 ations\, I will suggest a new model for the electrochemical double layer. 
 I will then discuss how this double-layer structure\, or more specifically
  cations in the electrochemical double layer\, may affect the kinetics of 
 electrocatalytic H2 evolution and CO2 reduction\, both the activity itself
  ànd the competition.\n
