Abstract:

Phthalocyanines or porphyrins of cobalt and iron are known as effective catalysts of oxygen reduction. Carbon based electrodes are modified by.the adsorption of these macromolecular compounds, which mediate the electron transfer. Oxygen is reduced to hydrogen peroxide and/or water at these modified electrodes via a two- or four- electron transfer reaction.
