Spontaneous Electric Fields Play a Key Role in Thermochemical Catalysis at Metal−Liquid Interfaces

Large oriented electric fields spontaneously arise at all solid-liquid interfaces via the exchange of ions and/or electrons with the solution. Although intrinsic electric fields are known to play an important role in molecular and biological catalysis, the role of spontaneous polarization in heterog...
