Faradaic efficiencies and current‐voltage characteristics for the reduction of on various conductive oxide mixtures (, , , , ) were determined. Product analysis was performed by gas chromatography. Electrodes composed of and show high current efficiencies for methanol production when polarized near the equilibrium potential of hydrogen evolution in solutions of saturated with . It can be concluded from the Tafel slopes that the first electron transfer is the rate‐limiting step in the reduction of on the investigated oxides in acidic media.
