Single entity electrocatalysis: oxygen reduction mediated via methyl viologen doped Nafion nanoparticles
Literature Information
Lifu Chen, Chuhong Lin, Richard G. Compton
Nafion particles doped with methyl viologen are shown to be electrocatalytic towards oxygen reduction in aqueous solution when immobilised on a carbon electrode surface, with the formation of hydrogen peroxide. In this way an efficient homogeneous electron transfer mediator, methyl viologen, can be confined to act heterogeneously with the benefits of that type of process without losing effectiveness. Kinetic and mechanistic parameters are deduced from cyclic voltammetry and from single entity nano-impact experiments, and the process is shown to occur via electron transfer to dioxygen at the Nafion particle–solution interface with the initial formation of superoxide.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
