This diagram illustrates the new process for enhancing reaction rates in an electrocatalytic process. The catalyst layer, made of gold or platinum, is shown as gray spheres at the bottom, and the material to be catalyzed is shown as the rad spheres at the top. Adding a layer of ionic liquid in between, shown as the hexagonal lattices, can increase reaction rates by fivefold. At left, a detail of how oxygen (red) and hydrogen (green) can combine to form water at an enhanced rate through this process.
