Abstract
To account for the promoting effect of H+ on the halomethane reduction , which is similar to the influence of Me(4)N(+), it was assumed that Bu(4)N(+) cations are displaced from the double layer by smaller catio ns as the potential shifts away from its zero charge value. A signific ant distinction in the behavior of H+ and Me(4)N(+) is related to the fact that H+ is involved not only in the double layer formation but al so in the electrochemical reaction.
