Abstract
The Front Cover illustrates how different alkali metal cations influence the cathodic corrosion of gold surfaces. Polarizing gold at highly negative potentials results in various structures: nanoporous surfaces with CsOH, spherical nanoparticles and triangular pits with KOH, octahedral nanocrystals with NaOH, and triangular pits with LiOH. The study presented here also highlights the crucial role of electrolyte purity, as trace iron and nickel impurities in CsOH significantly impact cathodic corrosion. More information can be found in the Research Article by Mohamed M. Elnagar, Ludwig A. Kibler, and Timo Jacob (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202400526).
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
