Electrochemical Hydrogen Oxidation in Toluene/LiCB11Me12: H2 as a Surrogate for Lithium Metal?

Abstract

In toluene containing LiCB11(CH3)12 as the supporting electrolyte, the oxidation potential of H2 on a platinized Pt electrode is a strong function of the composition of a basic buffer, lithium 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidinate / 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine, and can approach the onset of the reduction of Li+. This suggests that only a moderate voltage might be needed to use H2 as a surrogate for Li and to take advantage of the specific chemical reactivity of the latter.
