Singlet oxygen and the origin of oxygen functionalities on the surface of carbon electrodes
The generation of oxygen‐containing functionalities on pristine carbon surfaces is investigated and shown to be light sensitive, specifically to infra‐red radiation. A mechanistic route involving singlet oxygen, ¹O₂, is proposed and evidenced.
