The electrochemical reduction of oxygen at boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes: A comparative study in a room-temperature ionic liquid

The reduction of oxygen on boron-doped diamond (BDD) and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes was studied in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [C2mim][NTf2]. O 2 reduction at both electrodes was found to involve the 1e - reduction of oxygen to superoxide. The f...
