A Mechanistic Study of O2 Reduction on Water Soluble Phthalocyanines Adsorbed on Graphite Electrodes.

Abstract

Co and Fe tetrasulfonate phthalocyanines (M-TSP), adsorbed at monolayer levels on graphite surfaces, have been found to have a pronounced catalytic effect on the O2 reduction process in both acid and alkaline solutions. The kinetics have been examined with the rotating ring-disk electrode technique. Co-TSP promotes the O2 reduction process via 2-electrons to give peroxide whereas Fe-TSP promotes a 4-electron reduction to give water. (Author)
