Electrochemical interfaces play a crucial role in governing electrode-mediated electron transfer processes, but elucidating the complex effects of the microenvironment remains challenging. Now it has been shown that the Marcus–Hush–Chidsey theory can be used to systematically analyse cation effects on the Au-catalysed CO2 reduction reaction with experimentally accessible variables.
