TL;DR: In this paper, the charge required to oxidize the strongly bound intermediate on Pt electrodes in 1 M H2SO4 is determined from sweep measurements extrapolated to infinite speed, and from the oxidation of the intermediate in the absence of bulk reaction using a dipping technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the dual path mechanism for HCOOH oxidation has been verified and the ability of Pt, Rh, Ir and Au to adsorb reaction intermediates in varying degrees has been demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed recent work on the oxidation of formic acid on noble metal electrodes in aqueous solution at room temperature and concluded that detailed studies of the mechanism are necessary for each electrode material.

TL;DR: In this paper, XPS measurements on electrochemically oxidised Pt suggest the existence of a single species, possibly Pt(OH) 2, up to potentials where coulometry indicates a limiting coverage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a strongly bound (poisoning) intermediate which adsorbs only on the Pt atoms and a direct oxidation path which involves an intermediate occupying a single site and a second intermediate occupying two sites.
