Study of Phenol Oxidation Products over Glassy Carbon Electrode in Alkaline Solutions by Photoluminescence Spectroscopy

Abstract:

In this research, a new approach is used to identify the products of electrochemical oxidation of UV visible substances over solid electrodes. In order to determine the product of phenol electrooxidation over glassy carbon electrode, the results obtained using voltammetric method and photoluminescence spectroscopy have been compared. It was proved that in an alkaline solution phenol is present in form of phenolate-ion, adsorbing on the surface of glassy carbon electrode, and oxidized to hydroquinone with transfer of two electrons.
