Brianna’s paper describes her work investigating and optimizing a rotating ring-disk electrode coupled with a pH-sensing probe to track changes in proton concentration near electrocatalyst surfaces under well-defined mass transport conditions. This manuscript examines the limitations and describes methods for improving the robustness of this experimental platform which enables critical insights into relationships between local reaction environment conditions and catalytic performance. Congratulations on this nice work, Brianna!
