Assessing compatibility involves a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches:
Electrochemical Testing: Techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometry to study the performance and stability of the catalyst-electrode system. Material Characterization: Using methods like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to analyze the physical and chemical properties. Theoretical Modeling: Computational methods to predict and optimize interactions at the molecular level.
