The Electrochemical Reduction Of 2-Ethylanthraquinone(2eaq), Yaobin Zhu

Journal of Electrochemistry

The process of electrochemical reduction of 2EAQ in DMSO is studied using CVand ESR methods in this work, Pt, Pd and some implanted materials are used as electrodes. Thequasi-rever+sible property of two electron transfer steps and their following homogeneous chemicalreactions are illustrated,The mechanism of the electrochemical red uction of 2 EAQ and the kineticparameters of the related steps are obtained. Having measured the influence of water content in thesystem, the effect of the proton donor is discussed. After comparising the experimental results witheach other these experiments gives us the idea that the replacement of metal Pd or some Pd-catalystswith pd-implanted …
