✦ Synopsis

The oxidation behaviour of methanol on platinum at room temperature in a low concentration of phosphoric acid ( -~ 5%) has been studied. Voltammetric behaviour in phosphoric acid medium is compared with that in perchloric acid. The effect of a bismuth underpotential deposition (upd) layer on the oxidation of methanol is also reported.

Experimental

A glass three-electrode cell was used. The working electrode was a polycrystaUine platinum disc of area 0.283 cm 2. The electrode surface was
