Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain. ACS cannot be held responsible for errors or consequences arising from the use of information contained in these “Just Accepted” manuscripts.

ABSTRACT

18

Clarifying hydrogen evolution and identifying the active hydrogen species are crucial

19

to the understanding of electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) mechanism.

20

Here, monodisperse palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) are used as a model catalyst to

21

demonstrate the potential-dependent evolutions of three hydrogen species, including

22

adsorbed atomic hydrogen (H*ads), absorbed atomic hydrogen (H*abs) and molecular

23

hydrogen (H2) on Pd NPs, and then their effect on EHDC of 2,4-dichlorophenol

24

(2,4-DCP). Our results show that H*ads, H*abs and H2 all emerge at -0.65 V (vs.

25

Ag/AgCl), and have increased amounts at more negative potentials, except for H*ads

26

that exhibits a reversed trend with potential varying from -0.85 to -0.95 V. Overall, the

27

concentrations of these three species evolve in an order of H*abs
