Anthraquinone-2-Carboxylic-Allyl Ester as a New Electrocatalyst for Dioxygen Reduction to Produce H2O2

The irreversibly adsorbed anthraquinone-2-carboxylic-allyl ester (abbreviated as ACAE) on a graphite electrode displays strong electrocatalytical activity for the two-electron reduction of oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. The surface electrochemistry of ACAE was examined by cyclic voltammetry. A tw...
