Abstract

THE investigation of the mechanism of electro-oxidation is hindered by the lack of information about the reaction products and intermediates. These can be determined in some cases by ordinary analytical methods. In some cases a current-voltage curve obtained by application of a voltage sweep to the electrode during interruptions of the electro-oxidation can be used for determination of products of the electrode reaction, but usually does not give unambiguous results.
