The electrochemical reduction characteristics of nitrobenzene was extensively investigated by using the techniques such as quasi_steady_state polarization,cyclic voltammetry,fast linear potential sweep method and chronoamperometry in this paper.The electroanalytic properties of Cu,Cu_Hg and Cu_Ni electrodes were evaluated.Based on the study of the transient steping behaviour of nitrobenzene to PAP,the reduction mechanism was discussed.The results showed that the transition steps existed on the electrochemic...
