Electrochemical reduction of oxygen

Thesis

The main aim of the work reported is the design of proof-of-concept of at point-of-use hydrogen peroxide electrogeneration from air. The experimental work discussed within this thesis explores five major areas: the kinetics of electrocatalysis, ion-pairing, change of solvent media, the electrode surface modication by a redox mediator, and the electrochemical reduction of oxygen within enhanced mass transport systems.

The electrocatalytic rates and mass transport of two oxygen reduct...
