Selective electrocatalytic oxidation of sucrose on smooth and upd-lead modified platinum electrodes in alkaline medium

This work aims to investigate the electrocatalytic oxidation of sucrose on smooth and upd-lead modified platinum electrodes in order to find experimental conditions for selective electrosynthesis of high value added products. The preliminary results obtained show that the oxidation of sucrose on Pt-Pb electrodes leads mainly to C12 products, such as the 1′-monoacid and the 6-monoacid of sucrose.
