A Practical Beginner’s Guide to Cyclic Voltammetry

TL;DR: In this article, a short introduction to cyclic voltammetry is provided to help the reader with data acquisition and interpretation, and common pitfalls are provided, and the reader is encouraged to apply what is learned in short, simple training modules provided in the Supporting Information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turn-on fluorescence in tetraphenylethylene-based metal-organic frameworks: An alternative to aggregation-induced emission

TL;DR: The potential utility of MCIE toward building new sensing materials is demonstrated by tuning the fluorescence response of the porous MOFs as a function of adsorbed small analytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Homogeneous Electrocatalysts by Cyclic Voltammetry

TL;DR: The cyclic voltammetric responses for a general electrocatalytic one-electron reduction of a substrate are presented along with methods to extract figures of merit from these data and the extension of this analysis to more complex electroCatalytic schemes, such as H2 evolution and CO2 reduction, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical Reduction of Brønsted Acids by Glassy Carbon in Acetonitrile—Implications for Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

TL;DR: Examination of acid electroreduction in acetonitrile on glassy carbon electrodes by cyclic voltammetry provides a guide for selecting acids to use in electrocatalysis experiments such that direct electrode reduction is avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reaction Pathways of Hydrogen-Evolving Electrocatalysts: Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies of Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art spectroscopic and electrochemical methods available to elucidate the mechanisms of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions of fuel-forming catalysts are presented.
