Electron transfer (ET) at electrochemical interfaces is central to energy conversion and storage, yet its theoretical and computational modeling remain active research areas. This review elucidates key concepts and theories of ET kinetics,…
The influence of an intramolecular proton transfer reaction on the conductance of a molecular junction is investigated employing a generic model, which includes the effects of the electric field of the gate and leads electrodes and the…
We investigate the current-voltage (IV) characteristics of a model single-electron transistor where mechanical motion, subject to strong dissipation, of a small metallic grain is possible. The system is studied both by using Monte Carlo…
Coulomb coupling between proximal layers in graphene heterostructures results in efficient energy transfer between the layers. We predict that, in the presence of correlated density inhomogeneities in the layers, vertical energy transfer…
Electrochemical phenomena in biology often unfold in confined geometries where micrometer- to millimeter-scale domains coexist with nanometer-scale interfacial diffuse charge layers. We analyze a model lipid membrane-electrolyte system…
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is foundational to catalysis, bioenergetics, and energy conversion, yet capturing and disentangling the coupled motions of electrons, protons, and solvent has remained a major experimental challenge.…
