Cation-Dependent Nonadiabaticity in Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer at Electrified Solid-Liquid Interfaces

Tomoaki Kumeda, Ken Sakaushi

Here we report an observation of cation-dependent nonadiabaticity in a proton-coupled electron transfer electrode process (PCET) during hydrogen evolution at electrified interfaces…
