Electrocatalytic Reduction Of Nitrite In The Presence Of Complex Of Cobalt(Ⅱ) And 1,10 Phenanthroline, Jian Tong, Xiaojun Dang, Hulin Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

The electrochemistry of cobalt(Ⅱ) 1,10 phenanthroline Co(Phen) 2+ 2 complex and its ability to electrocatalyze the reduction of nitrite were studied , we found that this complex could act as a catalyst in alkaline or neutral solution for nitrite reduction. We have investigated the effect of the complex composition on electrocatalytic ability. The effects of pH value, complex concentration, regeneration and activation of electrocatalyst on the catalytic current have been studied and discussed.
