Electrochemistry The onset potential ( E onset ) for oxygenation reactions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is an important issue for applications in which CNTs are used as a platform material (e.g., fuel cells, capacitors, and Li‐ion batteries). A team of researchers led by Masato Tominaga has successfully determined the E onset of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by using in situ Raman spectroelectrochemical measurements. In their Full Paper on page 2680 ff. , highlighted on the Inside Cover, they characterize the relationship between the E onset and the diameter of SWCNTs. Furthermore, the authors explain this relationship quantitatively in terms of the strain energy per carbon atom.
