Symposium 2

Molecular-Level Aspects of Interfacial Electrochemistry: State-of-the-Art, Spectroscopic Techniques and Theoretical and Computational Methods

Sponsoring Division: Division 7, Physical Electrochemistry
This symposium focuses on molecular-level aspects of interfacial electrochemistry, emphasizing the application of state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques in conjunction with theoretical and computational methods such as molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory trying to correlate the behavior observed with well defined surfaces to that obtained for nanostructured electrodes.
The symposium will place special emphasis on bridging electrochemistry and electrocatalysis with neighboring fields such as heterogeneous catalysis (both gas-phase and liquid phase) and bio-catalysis.

Topics include:

• Time- and space-resolved molecular descriptions of double-layer phenomena
• Reactivity
• Electrocatalysis
• Single crystal and nanostructured electrodes
