Single-Atom Catalysts (SACs) are a hot topic in catalysis research. Nowadays, there is a growing attention in modelling the reactivity and activity of SACs towards several electrochemical reactions. The activity of SACs is strongly sensitive to the local coordination of the transition metal atoms. An aspect less explored is assessing their stability in electrochemical conditions. In this work, we…

• A leakless IL/poly(IL) gel electrolyte was evaluated for BPA detection • The IL/poly(IL) gel prevents BPA oxidation fouling and electrode passivation • Mild electrode polarisation yields 100% current retention over five SWV scans • This protocol works on Pt thin-film, Pt macrodisk and glassy carbon electrodes A novel anti-fouling strategy has been developed to fully prevent electrode passivatio…
