The modification of electrode surfaces for immobilization of catalysts affects electrocatalytic efficiency, selectivity and stability. I will describe two recent examples: (i) the immobilization of metal complexes onto gold and carbon electrodes to promote the selective reduction of dioxygen to water and (ii) the protection of reactive electrodes by titanium dioxide during water oxidation. I will explore the benefits and limits of methods of surface modification with an eye to their application to other electrocatalytic systems.
