The Mechanism Of Electrocatalytic Reduction Of Oxygen On Manganese Dioxide, Yu-Liang Cao, Han-Xi Yang, Xin-Ping Ai, Li-Fen Xiao
Journal of Electrochemistry
The oxygen electroreduction on the MnO 2 electrode was investigated by analysis of the polarzation properties of oxygen reduciton and its dependence on MnO 2 discharge state,in combination with the characterization of discharge intermediate and the kinetic parameters of the oxygen reduction.Based on the experimental observation and mechanistic analysis,it was suggested that the reduction of oxygen was closely related to the discharge behaviors of MnO 2 .When MnO 2 was electrochimically reduced to MnOOH,it was immediately oxidized by oxygen molecules. Thus the oxygen reduction proceeds through continuous oxidation of the discharge product of MnO 2 and the MnO 2 catalyst …

In this paper,the cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical behaviors of μ _oxamido Copper(Ⅱ) Binuclear Complex (deCu) in PBS were studied.Cyclic voltammograms of this complex in PBS(pH=9)exhibited two reductive peaks( E pc1 =-0.25 V, E pc2 =-0.50 V)at hanging mercury drop electrode(HMDE),peaks at -0.50 V and -0.25 V corresponded to the reduction of ligand and copper(Ⅱ)_complex, respectively.The spectroelectrochimical experiments showed that there was a new absorption band at 440 nm,and the absorption peaks at 270 nm,280 nm red shifted to 300 nm,310 nm under potential of -0.75 V.It was meant that the Cu(Ⅱ) turned into low valent copper,simultaneously,a new large coupling system …
