Abstract
Bubbles influence energy and mass transfer in gas-evolving electrodes. However, we lack a detailed understanding on the intricate dependencies between bubble-evolution processes and electrochemical phenomena. This review discusses the current understanding on the effects of bubbles on electrochemical systems. We first provide a background on the physics of bubble evolution. Then we outline how bubbles affect energy efficiency of electrode processes. Lastly, we describe strategies to mitigate losses and how to exploit bubbles to enhance electrochemical reactions.
