Abstract
The paper is the first of a series dedicated to hydrogen peroxide electrosy nthesis by oxygen reduction in alkaline media. Voltammetric study was used to characterise the graphite and glassy carbon behaviour. The electrochemic al irreversibility was proved on the two investigated materials and quantit ative parameters describing the mechanism were found. In the used experimen tal conditions graphite presents better electrochemical properties. for hyd roxide peroxide electrosynthesis.
