STUDY ON THE FORMATION OF SINGLE NANOBUBBLES AT PLATINUM ELECTRODES

August 2015

This study report, authored by researchers from the University of Utah, the Braunschweig University of Technology in Germany, and Revalesio describes in detail the process of the formation of single nitrogen nanobubbles at platinum nanoelectrodes. The results suggest that the size of stable gas bubble nuclei depends only on the local concentration of nitrogen near the electrode surface, which is consistent with previously reported studies of the generation of hydrogen nanobubbles at platinum electrodes.
