摘 要:Electrocatalysis plays a vital role in advancing energy conversion and storage *** addition to the prominent strategies of advanced electrocatalysts,the exploration of the ion effects on electrocatalytic processes constitutes an emerging *** significant progress,challenges persist in understanding the controversial mechanisms and addressing the universality of these ion *** this feature article,we summarize our recent advances in exploring the ion effects on electrocatalytic oxidation reactions,mainly involving three systems:(1) hierarchical borate and fluoride anions synergize neutral water oxidation;(2) cation-intermediate interactions steer the glycerol oxidation selectivity;(3) cation coordination delays catechol polymerization and promotes selective ring C–C *** findings not only enrich our understanding of the ion effects through specific non-covalent interactions but also shed light on the potential of finely-tuned electrode–electrolyte interfaces toward the improved electrocatalytic performance for various electrocatalytic *** the summary,we outline the current challenges and opportunities within the ionic effect studies and offer insights into prospective research directions.
