The effects of O-2 and the supported Pt nano-particles on the mechanisms and kinetics of the carbon support corrosion are investigated by monitoring the CO2 production using differential electrochemical mass spectrometry in a dual-thin layer flow cell. Carbon can be oxidized in different distinct potential regimes; O-2 accelerates carbon oxidation, the rates of CO2 production from carbon oxidation in O-2 saturated solution are two times of that in N-2 saturated solution at the same potential; Pt can catalyze the carbon oxidation, with supported Pt nanoparticles , the overpotential for carbon oxidation is much smaller than that without loading in the carbon electrode. The mechanism for the enhanced carbon oxidation by Pt and O-2 are discussed.
