The Reduction Of Oxygen To Hydrogen Peroxide At The Poly(O-Phenylenediamine)-Filmed Electrode, Zhaoe Lu, Tiangeng Zhong, Guanyong Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The poly(o-phenylenediamine)(PPD)filmed graphite electrode was formed byelectro-polymerization of o-phenylenediamine in acidified(pH=1)0.2 mol·L-1 Na_2SO_4 solutionusing the cyclic voltammetric methed. The catalytic effect of the electrcareduction of oxygen in acidsolution was demonstrated by the voltammogram of the electrede in the oxygen saturated acid solutionof Na_2SO_4. The current efficiency of the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide was determined byIhe electrolysis in a divided cell under the condition of constant current. The various effectsinfluencing the accm ulation of H_2O_2 in the catholyte were discussed.
