Nitrogen oxide, electrocatalytic reduction

ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF DINITROGEN AND NITROGEN OXIDES 9.10.6.1 Electrocatalytic Activation of Dinitrogen... 

Cooperative effect of Mn- and Fe-centers within Mn2Fe2P4W3o in the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite In the preceding sections, it was well established that Fe(III)-substituted POMs catalyze the reduction of NO and/or N02 [1]. The first step in this process is the formation of a complex with the Fe(II) form of the POM and nitrogen oxide. 

Peng and Guarr " and Trollund et al. reported on the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrazine at a GCE modified with CoTAPc polymer, with a well-defined catalytic peak at -0.30 Table 7.8. The central Co(II) metal was found to act as the electronic receptor for hydrazine ". H2TAPC on GCE or conducting glass electrodes has also shown catalytic activity towards the oxidation of hydrazine. Ebadi reported on the use of a dimeric (RuPc)2 complex for the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrazine to nitrogen in basic media. The mechanism for this process may be similar to that reported below for hydroxylamine. The potentials for the oxidation of hydrazine on FeTSPc and CoTSPc are similar. Table 7.8.
