The effect of particle size of ultrafine palladium particles on the electrochemical oxidation of formic acid in a perchloric acid solution has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential electrochemical mass spectroscopy (DEMS). Except in the hydrogen sorption&sorption region, only

Abstract
While using porous glassy carbon (PGC) as a stationary phase for supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), irreversible modifications of the PGC surface were observed when using 3% formic acid in supercritical carbon dioxide mobile phase at mild operating conditions. Scanning electron microscopic and energy dispersive Xβray spectroscopic analyses indicated the formation of a polymer coating on the PGC surface. The coating may be formed from a polymerization reaction of the formic acid modifier catalyzed by the presence of the carbon surface. Those using carbonβbased stationary phases should be aware of this reaction when using formic acid as a modifier for SFC.
