From: Electrostatic catalysis of a click reaction in a microfluidic cell
a CVs obtained from the samples prepared under electrostatic catalysis at a bias voltage of 2 V for 10 min (black), 20 min (red), 30 min (blue), and 60 min (green) and compared to the control experiment in the absence of both electric field (Vapplied = 0 V) and Cu+ catalysis (grey). b CVs obtained from the samples prepared under chemical Cu+ catalysis for 10 min (black), 20 min (red), 120 min (green) and compared to the samples prepared with electrostatic catalysis for 30 min (dashed blue) and 60 min (dashed grey). In a and b, SR represents the scan rate. c Reaction yields expressed as both ferrocene (Fc) redox charge density (left Y-axis) and Fc surface coverage (right Y-axis) as a function of time for the electrostatic catalysis conducted at 2 V bias voltage (blue solid line with circles) and Cu+ catalysis (green solid line with circles), and corresponding linear fits (color coded dashed lines). The dashed orange line indicates the ideal fully covered ferrocene monolayer from the literature26,27.
