Kinetics of adsorbed “CO2” oxidation on a platinum electrode

Summary The mechanism of oxidation of adsorbed CO2 on a platinum electrode was investigated. The results show that one electron is needed for oxidation of one molecule of adsorbed “CO2”. This oxidation process follows the first order kinetics. These data and results for kinetics adsorption (previously reported) show that the radical COOH is a final product of adsorption of CO2 on Pt.
