Figure 1. Strategies for advancing contact-electro-chemistry through enhanced CE and EDL engineering. (A) Strategies for enhancing CE performance: material selection, surface engineering, structural configuration, reactor architecture, and contact dynamics. (B) Strategies for regulating interfacial electric fields within the EDL: Wang’s hybrid EDL model^[2] Ionic strength, ion identity, hydration structure, pH, dissolved gases, and solvent properties. CE: Contact electrification; EDL: electrical double layer.
