The Tafel slope in electrochemical catalysis is usually determined from experimental data and remains error-prone. Here, the authors develop a Bayesian approach for Tafel slope quantification, and apply it to study the prevalence of certain "cardinal" Tafel slopes in the electrochemical CO2 reduction literature.
