To design electrochem. interfaces for efficient elec.-chem. energy interconversion, it is critical to reveal the elec. double layer (EDL) structure and relate it with electrochem. activity; nonetheless, this has been a long-standing challenge. Of particular, no mol.-level theories have fully explained the characteristic two peaks arising in the potential-dependence of the EDL capacitance, which is sensitively dependent on the EDL structure. We herein demonstrate that our first-principles-based mol. simulation reproduces the exptl. capacitance peaks. The origin of two peaks emerging at anodic and cathodic potentials is unveiled to be an electrosorption of ions and a structural phase transition, resp. We further find a cation complexation gradually modifies the EDL structure and the field strength, which linearly scales the carbon dioxide reduction activity. This study deciphers the complex structural response of the EDL and highlights its catalytic importance, which bridges the mechanistic gap between the EDL structure and electrocatalysis. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 1,4,7,10,13-Pentaoxacyclopentadecane(cas: 33100-27-5COA of Formula: C10H20O5)
1,4,7,10,13-Pentaoxacyclopentadecane(cas: 33100-27-5) is a member of crown ether Ligands. Crown-ethers are macrocyclic polyethers capable of forming host-guest complexes, especially with inorganic and organic cations. Crown-ethers can incorporate protonated primary amine compounds by formation of ion-dipole bonds with the oxygen atoms of the chiral selector. Crown-ethers have been widely used for the separation of several pharmaceuticals both in aqueous and non-aqueous media. COA of Formula: C10H20O5
