The yields were obtained in 94%, 93%, and 97%, respectively. Electrochemical measurements, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), were performed to investigate the electrocatalytic behavior of compounds 10, 11, and 12. The specific activity of compound 12 for hydrazine electrooxidation was determined as 3.941 mA/cm2 with long-term stability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCatalysisElectrochemistryElectrooxidationFuel CellsIndole CompoundsArticle1029Q3Q3WOS:001542393800001
