By means of in situ IR spectroscopy we investigate the effect of dissolved alkali cations on the electro-oxidation of ethylene glycol on platinum in alkaline media. The results revealed that the increase in the oxidation currents (Li(+) < Na(+) < K(+)) is reflected in the increase in the ratio between carbonate and oxalate produced.
通过原位红外光谱法,我们研究了溶解碱金属阳离子对碱性介质中铂上乙二醇电氧化的影响。结果表明,氧化电流的增加(Li(+) < Na(+) < K(+))反映了生成的碳酸盐和草酸根比例的增加。
