Elektrolytische Oxydation des Formaldehydes in alkalischer Lösung

Application of Cyclic Voltammetry to the Kinetic Study of Electro-Oxidation of Organic Compounds

“…[1 ] suggests that methanol is oxidized only at sites where two methanol absorbing platinum sites are adjacent, the probability of finding two adjacent platinum atoms at which a methanol molecule could be adsorbed being then inversely proportional to the concentration of platinum atoms at which methanol is not adsorbed below +0.40v. This hypothesis is consistent with the hypothesis of Muller and Takegami (7) and of Tanaka ( 8) who postulate a two-point hydrogen adsorption in the case of electro-oxidation of ethanol to explain the product distribution at moderately active electrodes.…”

Screening potential anodic chemistry in lieu of the oxygen evolution reaction in electrolysis systems: the road to practical application

“…95–112 The products are established as critical chemicals for the preparation of biomass-derived polymers—polyethylene glycol 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF, 17 ), 94 which may replace polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET), and many fine chemicals listed as 8 , 9 , 15 , 16 . Among these reactions, the transformation of aldehydes 6 or 11 could proceed via acceptorless dehydrogenation (AD) 113–116 or a two-electron (2e − ) oxidation pathway, which dictates the fate of the adsorbed hydrogen on the catalyst surface—either combination into hydrogen gas (H 2 ) or oxidization into H 2 O, respectively. 18 could be upgraded to an important chelating agent, glucaric acid ( 19 ), 117 which addresses the very large detergent surfactant market, and finally yield a series of useful chemicals involving α-ketoglucaric acid, a starting substance for new polymeric materials.…”
