Electrochemistry provides direct control over the electron free energy and thus a path to electrically probe and drive chemical reactions. In strong contrast, no versatile technique exists that controls the free energy of a specific ion directly and in isolation. This has led to poor understanding of interfacial ionics. Take for example water dissociation , which is of key relevance for many energy technologies, such as for producing green H2 in alkaline conditions or bipolar membranes (BPMs) that generate acid and base using (renewable) electricity in electrodialysis. BPMs are unique, because they isolate water dissociation spatially at a junction between two electrically-isolating, but…
