Potential oscillation during the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol can be modulated by the specific adsorption of Cl- on the platinum electrode, which suppresses the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol, and makes the cross cycle in the cyclic voltammogram become smaller and finally disappear with the increase of Cl- concentration. The method is also applicable to the electrocatalytic oxidation of other small organic molecules.
