Abstract:The catalytic activity of poly[(2,2'-bipyridine)copper(II)-μ 4 -oxalato] coated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for O 2 electroreduction is examined using cyclic voltammetry and rotating disk electrode techniques. The cyclic voltammograms show that O 2 is electroreduced on pBpCuOx-coated GCE surfaces at a peak potential of − 0.25 V in pH 4.7 acetate buffer media. The electroreduction of O 2 on pBpCuOx-coated GCE occurs at 450 mV more positive potential than that found at a bare GCE. The catalytic activity o… Show more
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.
