MECHANISMS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CATALYSIS.
Abstract
The investigation of the mechanism of anodic hydrocarbon oxidation involves the application of a variety of pulse and ac methods with the intention of assigning a periodic circuit from electrode impedance analysis. The applicability of techniques and methods of analysis is being surveyed using the hydrogen evolution reaction as a model. All equipment has been constructed and tested. Considerable emphasis is placed on purity requirements due to the high sensitivity of both the hydrocarbon and hydrogen reactions to the presence of absorbed electrode contaminant. A prepurification technique involving adsorption at fixed potential is an extremely efficient means of removing contaminants from the electrolyte. (Author)
