Abstract

The effect of on the oxidation of hydrogen atoms chemisorbed on a Pt electrode has been examined with potentiostatic and transient galvanostatic techniques. The results indicate that is not reduced, but that oxidation is inhibited by , or possibly . Under these conditions the inhibited or blocked Had is stable at potentials negative to 0.3v (vs. NHE). Dissociation of formic acid to and may inhibit the further oxidation of by a similar blocking mechanism.
