	abstract = {The dependence of electrooxidn. on exptl. conditions of org. mols. was investigated to optimize the prodn. of hydrogen from potential wastewater sources using low voltage sources (\~{}1 V dc).  Electrooxidn. on platinum, gold, and stainless steel anodes with hydrogen prodn. on the cathode was investigated using several different org. reductants, including: methanol, ethanol, glycerol, isopropanol, propanal, glycerol, glucose, sucrose, citric acid, and propionic acid.  The electrolyte pH was varied from 2 to 12 in a 1 M Na2SO4 supporting soln.  At 1 V, glycerol, citric acid, ethanol and methanol were found to yield the highest currents at low pH values (pH 2 and 7) on platinum electrode, glucose on gold electrode at pH 12 in 1 M Na2SO4 soln. produced the highest total c.d. at 1 V with measured Faradaic efficiency for 1 M glucose of 70\%.  The hydrogen energy prodn. efficiency was 86\%.  Practical limitations of glucose oxidn. at optimum exptl. conditions are discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]},
