Abstract

The metal electrocatalyst research requires molecular-level knowledge of the electrocatalytic reactions and the controlling factors that determine the reaction kinetics. Several important factors, including electronic structure and geometric structure of metal surfaces, third-body effect, and bifunctional effect, are discussed for their roles in electrocatalysis. Chemical stability and surface restructuring/segregation of metals, which need practical consideration in the electrocatalyst research, are introduced. The electrochemistry of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon-containing compounds, and nitrogen-containing compounds is reviewed. Discussions are focused on recent advances in preparing metallic nanostructures for these reactions, and on understanding the relationship between the physical parameters of metallic nanostructures and the electrocatalytic property.
