The anodic oxidation kinetics of hydrazine on glassy carbon electrodes in acetonitrile were examined by cyclic voltammetry, a rotating ring-disc electrode technique and chronoamperometry. The experimental results of the rotating ring-disc electrode prove that hydrazine is oxidized to HN=NH, which cannot be oxidized further in acetonitrile. Hydrazine molecules are adsorbed on the electrode surface. One-third of the adsorbed hydrazine molecules are oxidized to HN=NH and the other two thirds act as proton acceptors. A possible mechanism of hydrazine oxidation is proposed.
