Altered Electrochemistry at Graphene- or Alumina-Modified Electrodes: Catalysis vs Electrocatalysis in Multistep Electrode Processes

The voltammetric behavior of glassy carbon electrodes modified with either submonolayer quantities of alumina or graphene is examined with respect to the two-electron, two-proton reaction of catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) in aqueous solution. While the voltammetric behavior superficially hints at a...

description The voltammetric behavior of glassy carbon electrodes modified with either submonolayer quantities of alumina or graphene is examined with respect to the two-electron, two-proton reaction of catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) in aqueous solution. While the voltammetric behavior superficially hints at a change of electron transfer rate, an alternative explanation in terms of the changed thermodynamics of the intermediate species is advanced and rationalized.
