Proposed mechanism

a: initial state: dissolved cellulose in alkaline solutionb: adsorption of OH- ions to the electrode and cellulose molecule approaching the Au-OH site on the electrode surfacec: oxidation of cellulose at the electroded: simultaneous desorption of the oxidation product from the surface and further oxidation of cellulose at the revealed electrode surfacee: desorption of adsorbed OH- ions from the electrode surface.

Conclusions

Cellulose can be oxidized at Au surface Adsorption of OH- ions at the Au surface is of

importance Two type of material is formed during

electrolysis:

- water soluble: containing caboxyl groups

- water insoluble: containing Au nanoparticles
