Abstract

The influence of the temperature and pressure applied in preparation of porous electrodes from Teflon-bonded carbon black on the hydrogen peroxide current yield and the current density was investigated. The porous structure, the wetted surface area of carbon black, and the electric resistance of the electrode mass were examined in order to establish the factors responsible for the varying electrode activity.
