Abstract
This work reports straightforward, intuitive, and convincing evidence to elucidate the origin of the oxidation peak in the cathodic scan of the cyclic voltammogram of alcohol oxidation on noble metal electrodes. Consequently, three new indicators are also proposed for assessing the electrocatalytic performance of electrodes.
