Electrochemical Oxidation of Mn - unist

E270
Finally, the direct oxidation of Bi3� to Bi�V�, which has not been
reported in the literature, was shown to be observed at the BDD
electrode. Thus far, its oxidation potential has been estimated from
the thermodynamic data. 30 Our present results demonstrate that the
BDD electrodes can be very useful for finding redox potentials that
are difficult or impossible to obtain with other types of electrodes.
