Hi
Can anyone explain the below-mentioned reaction? Here Co3O4 is used as electrode material and KOH is used as electrolyte. Redox peaks were observed in CV graph. But couldn't understand the actual reaction mechanism taking place in the electrochemical cell. I need help......
Co3O4+OH+H2O = 3CoOOH+e
CoOOH+OH = CoO2+H2O+e
