Abstrakt:	For the detection of electrochemically produced hydroxyl radicals (HO · ) from the oxidation of water on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) in combination with spin trap labels is a popular technique. Here, we show that quantification of the concentration of HO · from water oxidation via spin trap electrochemical (EC)-EPR is problematic. This is primarily due to the spin trap oxidizing at potentials less positive than water, resulting in the same spin trap-OH · adduct as formed from the solution reaction of OH · with the spin trap. We illustrate this through consideration of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N -oxide (DMPO) as a spin trap for OH · . DMPO oxidation on a BDD electrode in an acidic aqueous solution occurs at a peak current potential of +1.90 V vs SCE; the current for water oxidation starts to rise rapidly at ca. +2.3 V vs SCE. EC-EPR spectra show signatures due to the spin trap adduct (DMPO-OH · ) at potentials lower than that predicted thermodynamically (for water/HO · ) and in the region for DMPO oxidation. Increasing the potential into the water oxidation region, surprisingly, shows a lower DMPO-OH · concentration than when the potential is in the DMPO oxidation region. This behavior is attributed to further oxidation of DMPO-OH · , production of fouling products on the electrode surface, and bubble formation. Radical scavengers (ethanol) and other spin traps, here N - tert -butyl- α -phenylnitrone, α -(4-pyridyl N -oxide)- N - tert -butylnitrone, and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane dimer, also show electrochemical oxidation signals less positive than that of water on a BDD electrode. Such behavior also complicates their use for the intended application. Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing financial interest. (© 2022 The Authors.
