Abstract
Electro-oxidation of ethanol represents a key process in fuel-cell technology. We introduce a generalization of the random sequential adsorption model to study the long time scale and large length scale properties of the electro-oxidation process. We provide an analytical solution for one dimension and Monte Carlo results in two dimensions. We characterize the coverage and percolation properties of the jammed state and unveil the influence of quenched impurities in the selectivity of oxidation products.
