When electrodes are rough, three-dimensionally mesoporous or nanoporous, the restricted mass transport can lead to local accumulation or depletion of various substances, influencing reactions at the active sites of electrocatalysts. This influence is crucial for both the activity and selectivity of electrocatalytic reactions, and has been a topic of growing awareness in recent years.
The complex interplay of restricted mass transport leading to local accumulation or depletion of educts, intermediates, products, counterions and co-ions influences the reactions at the active sites of electrocatalysts when electrodes are rough, three-dimensionally mesoporous or nanoporous. This influence is important with regard to activity, and even more to selectivity, of electrocatalytic reactions. The underlying principles are discussed based on the growing awareness of these considerations over recent years.
