Abstract

This paper describes the use of an aluminum electrode plated by metallic palladium and modified by Prussian blue (PB/Pd-Al) in the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The effect of pH on the electroreduction of H2O2 on the modified electrode is investigated and a simple irreversible reduction pathway is suggested. The electroreduction kinetics including transfer coefficient α, potential-dependent charge transfer rate constants k f, and diffusion coefficient D are estimated by means of forced hydrodynamic voltammetry using a rotating disk PB/Pd-Al electrode. The mean values obtained for kinetics are 0.38, 10−2 cm−1, and 7.6 × 10−6 cm2 s−1, respectively. The long-term stability of the modifying layers on the Al substrate was studied.
