Despite its fundamental and technological importance, a molecular-level mechanistic under\u00adstanding of the factors that drive efficient multi-electron inner-sphere electrocatalysis remains elusive, impeding systematic progress toward innovative and more efficient energy conversion technologies. This critical knowledge gap arises because the current-voltage response of an electrode provides little information about the complex array of elementary surface processes that underpin near all energy conversion reactions. Addressing this longstanding grand challenge requires multi-faceted methodologies that go beyond classical current-voltage measurements and combine&nbsp;<i>operando<\/i>&nbsp;probes and atomistic simulations to develop multiscale models of critical ISET reactions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"site-title\" style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1195 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 1rem\" src=\"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/lianlab\/files\/2019\/01\/Picture24.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/lianlab\/files\/2019\/01\/Picture24.png 729w, https:\/\/scholarblogs.emory.edu\/lianlab\/files\/2019\/01\/Picture24-300x291.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"site-description\">&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MURI: Molecular Level Studies of Solid-Liquid Interfaces in Electrochemical Processes The efficient interconversion of electrical and chemical energy requires functional electrodes that are able to catalyze complex multi-electron energy conversion reactions.
