While thermodynamics provides valuable insights, it is crucial to recognize that kinetics constitutes another integral aspect of the overall process. A mechanism may exhibit thermodynamic favorability, yet it can be kinetically too slow to occur. In order to gain some understanding of the kinetics of the reaction, we conducted the CV tests under different scan rates as shown in Figure . At higher scan rates, the CV is swept faster across the same potential range, resulting in a quicker run. Given that under CO2, a chemical reaction is occurring (𝐴𝑄(𝐶𝑂 2 ) 2 2-adduct formation, according to reaction (1)), there would be less time for the chemical reaction to proceed at higher scan rates. It can be observed that for the 1,4-and 1,5-BTMAPAQ isomers, increasing the scan rate would barely result in any current being extracted at the oxidation potential attributed to the oxidation of 𝐴𝑄 2-, which implies that the chemical quinone-adduct formation reaction is occurring at rates faster than the scan rates used. Thus, even at 1000 mV/s, we extract current predominantly from 𝐴𝑄(𝐶𝑂 2 ) 2 2-. Interestingly, for the 1,8-BTMAPAQ isomer, increasing the scan rate reveals a growing peak at the oxidation potentials related to 𝐴𝑄 2-oxidation, which indicates that the chemical reaction rate of 𝐴𝑄(𝐶𝑂 2 ) 2 2-adduct formation is slower for this isomer compared to the other two isomers and cannot keep up with the fast rate of potential change. In order to quantify the kinetic rates associated with the 𝐴𝑄(𝐶𝑂 2 ) 2 2-adduct formation reaction, we assume the following three-step electrochemical-chemical-electrochemical (ECE) reaction scheme:
