Twisto-electrochemical activity volcanoes in Trilayer Graphene

In this work, we develop a twist-dependent electrochemical activity map, combining a tight-binding electronic structure model with modified Marcus-Hush-Chidsey kinetics in trilayer graphene. We identify a counterintuitive rate enhancement region spanning the magic angle curve and incommensurate twists of the system geometry. We find a broad activity peak with a ruthenium hexamine redox couple in regions corresponding to both magic angles and incommensurate angles, a result qualitatively distinct from the twisted bilayer case. Flat bands and incommensurability offer new avenues for reaction rate enhancements in electrochemical transformations.
