摘要
In This paper, the authors report some interesting activating effects which arise in the electro-oxidation of formic acid at platinum electrodes when small concentrations of acetonitrile are present. The behavior is compared with that exhibited with methanol. The present work indicates that the activating effect may be a general one in the case of formic acid oxidation and an account of the behavior may be given in terms of competitive adsorption effects in an electrocatalytic process.
