Abstract

Figure 1. Cyclic voltammograms for the reduction of 4 mM O2 (1 atm) in dimethylformamide (0.1 M tetraethylammonium perchlorate) at a platinum electrode (area, 0.23 cm2) in the absence (-) as well as in the presence (---) of (a) 3 mM CC 4 and (b) 3 mM CH3Cl. The cathodic peak (upper) height from an initial negative scan at a rate of 0.1 V sl is proportional to 0, concentration at the electrode surface. The anodic peak (lower) height that results ...
