Waseda Frontline Research Feature Vol.19 : Exploring Undiscovered Potential of Catalysts (2/4)

Catalytic reactions are dramatically accelerated by applying an electric field, a space acted upon by a weak electrical force. Professor Yasushi Sekine discovered such electrocatalytic reactions, which had been a completely unknown phenomenon. He then began to try and explain the mechanism of electrocatalytic reactions, and his strategy was to capture the undergoing reactions live.  <More>
