Electrochemical reduction of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) in basic solution was investigated by using cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR.The results of cyclic voltammograms showed that Ag electrode exhibited good performance for the electro-reduction of 4-CP and the reduction reaction could take place at a more positive potential.The study on possible mechanism of 4-CP on Ag electrode by in situ FTIR spectroscopy suggested that 4-CP was electro-reduced to its radical ion initially
then its radical ion was transformed to phenolate at a more negative potential and electrochemical dechlorination of 4-CP was realized.
