The performance of a catalyzed H 2 O 2 electrogeneration process using a modified oxygen-fed graphite/PTFE electrode is reported. The organic redox catalyst chosen for incorporation into the graphitic mass was azobenzene. The yield of the hydrogen peroxide is related to the applied potential and to azobenzene concentration. Modification of the gas diffusion electrode with azobenzene improved hydrogen peroxide production, and the overpotential for oxygen reduction was shifted to less negative values compared to the performance of a non-catalyzed electrode, indicating that these modified electrodes have good electro-activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
