Reversible vs Standard Hydrogen Electrode Scale in Interfacial Electrochemistry from a Theoretician's Atomistic Point of View

Axel Gross

Summary: In interfacial electrochemistry, it is commonly believed that the stability of adsorbate phases containing only hydrogen atoms is independent of the pH of the electrolyte, while the stability of adsorbate phases without hydrogen is independent of the pH on the scale of the standard hydrogen electrode. This Perspective argues that such Nernstian behavior can only occur if the free energy of the adsorbate phase is not affected by the electrochemical control parameters, which is generally not true. However, certain structural and chemical factors may lead to Nernstian behavior. The analysis also provides guidance for the validity of grand-canonical simulations using the computational hydrogen electrode concept.
