KINETIC STUDIES OF THE OXYGEN-PEROXIDE COUPLE ON PYROLYTIC GRAPHITE

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0682217 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The cathodic and anodic properties of the oxygen-peroxide couple have been studied on ordinary pyrolytic graphite, high pressure annealed pyrolytic graphite and single crystal graphite in alkaline solutions using the rotating disc technique. Both the reduction of O2 and oxidation of peroxide are inhibited on the cleavage surface of the oriented graphite relative to the edge surface. This difference in behavior is attributed to the lack of suitable adsorption sites on the cleavage surface for the reacting species andor intermediates.
