Abstract

The superoxide radical anion O2 - is both an important intermediate in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation and a useful probe for positive charges in ionic solids, such as metal oxides and zeolites. The paper illustrates the main circumstances under which stable superoxide anions are formed at surfaces: (i) direct surface–oxygen electron transfer; (ii) photoinduced electron transfer; (iii) surface intermolecular electron transfer; (iv) decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
