Spin-dependent deprotonation induced giant magnetocurrent in electrochemical cells

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2016 Apr 21;18(15):9897-901. doi: 10.1039/c6cp00987e. Epub 2016 Mar 24.

Abstract

A giant magnetocurrent (>100%) is observed in the electrochemical system based on tertiary amines at room temperature. This giant magnetocurrent is ascribed to spin-dependent deprotonation during the oxidation of tertiary amines. This presents a new approach of using spin-dependent deprotonation to generate giant magnetocurrent in electrochemical reactions.
