S. Biniak et al., CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRIC STUDIES OF HEAT-TREATED AND OXIDIZED CARBON-FIBERS IN ORGANIC AND AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS, Monatshefte fuer Chemie, 125(12), 1994, pp. 1365-1370
Cyclic voltammetry was used to compare the electrochemical behaviour o
f PAN-based carbon fibre electrodes in aqueous (different pH), acetoni
trile and methanol solutions. The sets of fibres used were produced at
three temperatures and were oxidized with conc. HNO3 or left nonmodif
ied. The electrode reaction mechanisms probably occurring on the carbo
n fibre surfaces were analyzed.
