Dissociative electron transfer constitutes a class of redox processes in which a substrate accepts one or more electrons at an electrode interface, triggering the cleavage of a covalent bond. Two ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) encompasses reactions in which the movement of an electron is directly linked to the transfer of a proton. This coupling can proceed by sequential ...

Electron-proton coupled motion is widespread in both natural and synthetic materials. The best-known mechanism is proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), which is vital to bioenergetics, cellular ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes. Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental ...

For decades, it has been widely believed that electrons move most efficiently in materials that are clean and highly ordered. Much like water flowing more easily through a smooth pipe, conventional ...
