The reduction of nitric oxide at a platinum electrode in 4 M H$O, was investigated by the measurement of potential/current relations and by the determination of the current efficiencies for the hydroxylamine, nitrous oxide, ammonia, hydrazine and hydrogen formation at fixed potentials in the potenti

✦ Synopsis
The cathodic behavior ofacetonitrile at a platinum electrode is strongly dependent on the cation of the supporting electrolyte, and contamination by moisture. Mixtures of supporting electrolytes can give anomalous effects under certain conditions; the results are consistent with the formation of hydride ion at the platinum surface.
