The experiment employed a glassy carbon working electrode, a platinum counter electrode, and either an Ag/AgCl (in a saturated NaCl solution) or a silver wire in a glass tube with a sintered end containing 0.1M TEAP as the reference electrode. Electrolysis experiments were performed under similar conditions except with a platinum coil working electrode and a silver wire reference electrode. All potentials were referenced to the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple taken to have an E° value of 0.475 V versus SCE.
