Hydrogen electrooxidation via a "hydrogen abstraction" mechanism in an aprotic ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) [Bmpy][NTf<sub>2</sub>] under anaerobic conditions was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory (DFT). It is found that a platinum bound NTf<sub>2</sub> radical (NTf<sub>2</sub><sup>•</sup>) formed by the oxidation of NTf<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> at anodic potential can catalyze the oxidation of hydrogen and enhance its ...[more]
