Hydration entropy of cations regulates chloride ion diffusion during electrochemical chlorine evolution

Nature Chemistry, Published online: 08 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s41557-025-02014-4

Cation effects have been rigorously studied in electrochemical charge transfer, but their role in mass transport remains unexplored. Now, it has been shown that the structural entropy of cation hydration quantitatively explains how cations regulate reactant diffusion during the chlorine evolution reaction.
