The electro-oxidation of dimethoxymethane (DMM) at carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles was studied, and the effects of solution convection, specific anion adsorption, and DMM concentration were investigated. Methyl formate (MF) and CO 2 were observed as products using differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS), and MF was found to be the more prevalent of the two under all conditions tested. Isotopically ( 13 C) labeled DMM was synthesized, and it was shown that CO 2 was preferentially formed from the methyl carbons of DMM using both DEMS and in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
