Understanding oxygen reduction, key to much of electrochemical energy transformation technology, crucially requires exploration of the role of hydrogen peroxide as a possible intermediate especially on catalysts such as Pt which can bring about the 4e reduction of O<sub>2</sub> to water. We reveal that at the single nanoparticle scale the direct platinum catalysed reduction of hydrogen peroxide is found - even at high overpotentials - not to be controlled by the rate mass-transport of the reagen ...[more]
