The resulting unstable molecular ion Oj) rapidly adds another electron and protons to yield hydrogen peroxide. In alkaline solutions the same pathway is followed, but owing to the much lower polarization, the reaction becomes practically reversible (b = 0.03 V) its rate then is determined by oxygen transport to the surface, and polarization is of the concentration type (Bagotsky and Yablokova, 1953). 

The special kinetic and mechanistic features of this reaction began to be studied at platinum electrodes in the early 1960s. In recent years a number of groups in different countries published a large amount of research work concerning this reaction (see, e.g., Bagotsky et al., 1977 Parsons and Van der Noot, 1988 Iwasita and... 

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide has found no extensive application so far, yet it is of great interest for scientists in the fields of theoretical and applied electrochemistry. To a certain extent, it is analogous to the photochemical carbon dioxide reduction, but it involves no chlorophyll and yields simpler products. In recent years some books and reviews on this topic have been published (e.g., Taniguchi, 1989 Sullivan et al., 1993 Bagotsky and Osetrova, 1995).
