Preparation of glassy carbon electrodes by high-speed polishing with successively smaller particle size silicon carbide, diamond paste, and-alumlna, and ultrasonic cleaning, yielded reproducible activation for anodic oxidations of fer-rocyanide, ferrocene, ascorbate, quiñones, and catharanthlne. Electron spectroscopy showed that the highly polished electrodes had a higher oxygen content In the outer 20-30 nm than In the bulk material or In unactlvated electrodes. A major portion of the oxygen Is probably associated with phenolic-like groups. For simple electron transfers, creation of a favorable charge densityat the electrode Is an Important factor In the activation, but other nonspecific Interactions may also be Involved. For proton-coupled reactions, such as those of ascorbate and dopamine, specific Interactions of reactants with catalytic groups created on the surface may play a sig-nificant role In electrqde activation. Response of the electrodes degraded with time.
