currentcatalyzed
Currentcatalyzed refers to a process or reaction that is initiated, accelerated, or facilitated by the presence of an electric current. This phenomenon is distinct from traditional chemical catalysis where a substance, typically a metal or enzyme, lowers the activation energy of a reaction. In current-catalyzed processes, the electric current itself plays a critical role, often by directly participating in redox reactions or by altering the electronic properties of reactants or catalysts.
One common mechanism involves electrocatalysis, where an electrode surface acts as a catalyst and the electric
The advantages of current-catalyzed methods include precise control over reaction rates and selectivity by adjusting current
