TL;DR: In this article, a short introduction to cyclic voltammetry is provided to help the reader with data acquisition and interpretation, and common pitfalls are provided, and the reader is encouraged to apply what is learned in short, simple training modules provided in the Supporting Information.

TL;DR: The cyclic voltammetric responses for a general electrocatalytic one-electron reduction of a substrate are presented along with methods to extract figures of merit from these data and the extension of this analysis to more complex electroCatalytic schemes, such as H2 evolution and CO2 reduction, is discussed.

TL;DR: Examination of acid electroreduction in acetonitrile on glassy carbon electrodes by cyclic voltammetry provides a guide for selecting acids to use in electrocatalysis experiments such that direct electrode reduction is avoided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state-of-the-art spectroscopic and electrochemical methods available to elucidate the mechanisms of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions of fuel-forming catalysts are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanism of hydrogen evolution is governed by three elementary steps; two are acid concentration and pKa dependent, whereas the third is intrinsic to the catalyst, likely reflecting either H-H bond formation or H2 release.
