Abstract

THERE has been a recent surge of interest in the mechanism of the electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons. Important to any determination of mechanism is a knowledge of the fractional surface coverage of reaction species. This communication deals with the adsorption of ethylene labelled with carbon-14 at the platinum-electrolyte interface as a function of potential and time.
