The Mechanism of Electrochemical Oxidation of Organic Fuels

  • Chapter
Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry No. 4

Abstract

The recent interest in electrochemical energy conversion1 and the discovery by Heath and Worsham2 that saturated hydrocarbons, which are potentially economical fuels, could be completely oxidized spontaneously with the production of electrical energy, have led to renewed efforts in the study of the electrochemical oxidation of organic compounds. Since much of the work in electro-organic chemistry has not been conducted with a clear philosophy of mechanism determination, any discussion of electrode kinetics in this area is necessarily severely limited. This discussion will thus attempt to clarify the type of information which is required for mechanistic interpretation, the experimental methods by which this information is most profitably obtained, and the treatment of this information once it has been obtained. The large field of organic polarography, both the conventional reduction of organic compounds and oxidation at solid electrodes, will not in general be discussed here, since the primary aim in that area is not mechanism determination but electrochemical analysis and is properly discussed in terms of electroanalytical chemistry.
