Enhancing Electrochemical Reactivity with Magnetic Fields: Unraveling the Role of Magneto-Electrochemistry

Electrocatalysis performs a vital role in numerous energy transformation and repository mechanics, including power cells, Electric field-assisted catalysis, and batteries. It is crucial to investigate new methods to improve electrocatalytic performance if effective and long-lasting power systems are developed. The modulation of catalytic activity and selectivity by external magnetic fields over electrochemical processes has received a lot of interest lately. How the use of various magnetic fields in electrocatalysis has great promise for building effective and selective catalysts, opening the door for the advancement of sophisticated energy conversion is discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and possibilities of incorporating magnetic fields into electrocatalytic systems and suggestions for future research areas are discussed. Magneto-electrocatalytic reduction/oxidation reactions, utilizing magnetic forces, show significant progress in synthesizing valuable products like formic acid, oxygen, hydrogen and ammonia by CO2RR, OER, HER, NOxRR, etc. Integration of magnetic force enhances efficiency, selectivity, and overall performance while enabling precise control over reaction parameters, improving catalytic activity, and stability, and influencing kinetics and product distribution to expand catalytic conversion.image
