“…In such studies it is tacitly assumed that ClO 4 − ions are stable under the actual experimental conditions, that is, no reduction of these ions takes place. However, evidence for the occurrence of the reduction process has been reported, e.g., for Rh [6][7][8][9][10][11], Pt [12][13][14][15], Wc [16], Al [17], Ti [18], Ir [19], Ru [20], Re [21], Tc [22] and Sn [23] electrodes. A survey of the literature can be found in reviews [4,24,15].…”
