What Parameters are Evaluated During Electrochemical Testing?

During electrochemical testing, several key parameters are evaluated to assess the catalyst's performance:

1. Current Density: The current per unit area of the electrode, indicating the catalytic activity.

2. Onset Potential: The potential at which the catalytic reaction begins, reflecting the energy efficiency.

3. Overpotential: The difference between the theoretical and actual potential required to drive the reaction, indicating the catalyst's efficiency.

4. Stability: The ability of the catalyst to maintain its performance over extended periods and repeated cycles.

5. Faradaic Efficiency: The ratio of the actual amount of product formed to the theoretical amount, indicating the selectivity of the catalyst.
