The electrooxidation of H2O2 involves hydroperoxide radical and superoxide anion radical able to interact with radical scavengers (antioxidants), namely 3-hydroxycoumarin, carvacrol, vanillin and gallic acid. For such interaction, theoretical equations are derived using the convective diffusion approximation and the steady-state conditions, as well as solving the differential equations of the Nernst diffusion-layer approximation by the method of dimensionless variables. The experimental results agree with the theoretical predictions and a kinetic parameter is proposed to evaluate the scavenging activity of antioxidants.}, organization = {Financial support from Junta de Andalucía (Research Groups FQM-0198 and RNM-371) is gratefully acknowledged.}, publisher = {The Electrochemical Society}, title = {Analysis of the Interaction of Radical Scavengers with ROS Electrogenerated from Hydrogen Peroxide}, doi = {10.1149/2.045304jes}, author = {Palma López, Alberto and Ruiz Montoya, Mercedes and Fernández Arteaga, Jesús and Rodríguez Mellado, José Miguel}, }
