Abstract

The reduction potential for the CoII-NH3-O 2 system at a glassy-carbon electrode in a solid-state Nafion-coated cell is about 800 mV more positive than obtained for a glassy-carbon-Nafion film electrode when immersed in an aqueous solution containing CoII, ammonia, and dioxygen (+0.3 and -0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively); this is attributed to two different electrode reactions: reduction of [(NH 3)5Co-O2-Co(NH3)5] 4+ in the absence of a contacting liquid electrolyte solution and free O2 in aqueous CoII-ammoniacal solution.
