Abstract
A H 2O 2 fuel cell system was applied for the synthesis of cresols from toluene. Partial oxidation of toluene was initiated by an active oxygen generated on the cathode during H 2O 2 fuel cell reaction. The selective oxidation of toluene to cresols has been effected by using the cathode of carbon black and diluted electrolyte (<0.5 M, H 3PO 4). The cathode of active carbon added with FeCl 3 was also favorable for the synthesis of cresols. The mixture of carbon whisker and FeCl 3-added active carbon enhanced the rate of cresol formation.
