Kolbe electrolysis has been proposed an {efficient|effective} electrooxidation {process|procedure|method|approach|course of action} to synthesize (un)symmetrical dimers from biomass-based carboxylic acids. {However|Nevertheless|Nonetheless|Even so|On the other hand|Having said that}, the reaction mechanism of Kolbe electrolysis remains controversial. {In this|Within this} {work|function|perform|operate}, we {develop|create} a DFT- {based|primarily based} microkinetic model to study the reaction mechanism of Kolbe electrolysis of acetic acid (CH3COOH) on {both|each} pristine and partially oxidized Pt anodes. We show that the shift {in the|within the|inside the} rate-determining step of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on Pt(111)@α-PtO2 surface from OH* formation to H2O adsorption {gives|provides|offers} rise {to the|towards the|for the} {large|big|huge|massive|substantial|significant} Tafel slopes, i.e., the inflection zones, observed at {high|higher} anodic potentials in experiments on Pt anodes. The activity passivation {as a result of|because of} the inflection zone is {further|additional} exacerbated {in the|within the|inside the} presence of Kolbe species (i.e., CH3COO* and CH3*). Our simulations {find|discover|locate|uncover|come across|obtain} the CH3COO* decarboxylation and CH3* dimerization {steps|actions|measures|methods} {determine|figure out|decide|establish|ascertain|identify} the activity of Kolbe reaction {during|throughout|in the course of|for the duration of|through} inflection zone. In contrast {to the|towards the|for the} Pt(111)@α-PtO2 surface, Pt(111) shows no activity towards Kolbe {products|goods|items|merchandise|solutions} {as the|because the} CH3COO* decarboxylation step is limiting {throughout|all through} the {considered|regarded as|deemed|regarded|viewed as|thought of} {potential|possible|prospective} {range|variety}. This {work|function|perform|operate} resolves {major|significant|main|key|big|important} controversies {in the|within the|inside the} mechanistic analyses of Kolbe electrolysis on Pt anodes: the origin {of the|from the|in the|on the|with the|of your} inflection zone, {and the|and also the|as well as the|along with the|plus the} identity {of the|from the|in the|on the|with the|of your} {rate|price} limiting step. 6-Chloro-5-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one structure 7-Bromo-1H-indole-6-carbonitrile manufacturer PMID:24761411
