Recently, it was shown that chemical reaction rates can be modified by up to an order-of-magnitude by performing the reaction in a Fabry-Perot cavity tuned to the vibrational mode of one of the molecular species appearing along the reaction path. This remarkable observation, for which there is as yet no clear physical explanation, was made in the absence of any external photo-excitation. Inspired by this, we propose an internship and PhD project whose long-term goal is to study electrochemical reactions under vibrational strong coupling conditions. The intern will participate in, and contribute to, a series of experiments in which plasmonic metasurfaces will be fabricated using state-of-the-art lithography, then used as the working electrode in an electrochemical cell. Initial tests will target the study of text-book electrochemical reactions under external, mid-IR excitation, with the aim being to explore the effect of photon confinement at the electrode surface on reaction kinetics.
