Fighting Deactivation: Classical and Emerging Strategies for Efficient Stabilization of Molecular Electrocatalysts

摘要: Development of highly active molecular electrocatalysts for fuel-forming reactions has relied heavily on understanding mechanistic aspects the electrochemical transformations. Careful fine-tuning ligand environment oriented pathways towards higher activity and optimal product distribution several catalysts. Unfortunately, many catalysts deactivate in bulk electrolysis conditions, diminishing impact plethora tuned electrocatalytic systems. This Minireview covers classical emerging methods developed to circumvent catalyst deactivation degradation, with an emphasis successes electrocatalysts.
