摘要： The disclosed electrocatalyst material is useful in electrodes, especially in cathodes for the reduction of oxygen or peroxide to water or hydroxide. The electrocatalyst typically comprises 0.1 to 20 weight-%, based on the weight of the material, of a supported particulate elemental gold wherein the particles are apparently crystalline in nature, apparently with exposed (100) faces, but smaller in size than 5 nanometers ( 0.7 volts vs. RHE at 200 mA/cm.sup.2, generally indicating a substantial proportion of four-electron change reactions when oxygen is being reduced. The electrodes (which are also useful as anodes in acid electrolytes) are made by impregnating the support material with a reducible gold compound dissolved in a polar solvent, gently evaporating the solvent, and chemically reducing the gold compound in situ at a moderate temperature with a flowing reducing gas (e.g. H.sub.2) then applying the resulting supported gold to a porous backing material. Typical gold content levels at the electrode surface are

摘要： Gas-diffusion electrodes (GDE's) suitable for use with a solid polymer electrolyte (s.p.e.), particularly in s.p.e. fuel cells, which GDE's provide unusually highly efficient use of noble or precious electrocatalytic metals, are obtained by starting with a GDE which is essentially fully fabricated except for electrocatalytic metal treatment and s.p.e. treatment, e.g. a carbon GDE having a gas-permeable hydrophobic face and a particulate carbon-containing catalytic face. This untreated GDE is treated bya. impregnating an s.p.e. solutuion into the catalytic face until the solution penetrates part way into the cross-section of the GDE, especially into the carbon particulate or other support material, but not as far as the hydrophobic, gas permeable face,b. inserting the thus-treated GDE and a counterelectrode into a plating bath containing, for example, M.sup.+, M.sup.++, and/or M.sup.+++ ions, where M is a metal of Group VIII or I-B of the Periodic Table, andc. applying an interrupted current (periodically interrupted or a single, long pulse

摘要： In this method, a lower alcohol is oxidized directly (i.e. without reformation) to CO.sub.2 +H.sub.2 O at the anode of a fuel cell, and a reducible gas (e.g. air or O.sub.2) is reduced at the cathode. High, reasonably constant current densities at low over-voltages can be obtained. The electrolyte is preferably an acidic solid polymer electrolyte, and the anode comprises, as the electrocatalyst, a combination of a Group VIII noble metal with gold having significant Au (111) character. The (111) face of gold crystals (preferably crystals in the size range of about 4 to 15 nm) have been found to be specific for oxidation of intermediate alcohol oxidation products (CO, CHO, COH, HCHO, CH.sub.3 CHO, etc.) to CO.sub.2 or CO.sub.2 +H.sub.2 O. Thus, the combination of a Group VIII metal such as Pt with Au (111) avoids "poisoning" of the Pt by these intermediate products. Some protection against such "poisoning" is also provided with Au (110), but Au (100) and polycrystalline gold are not considered useful in the electro-oxidation of lower alcohols (particularly methanol and ethanol). If the alcohol "fuel" is methanol, the combination of Group VIII noble metal and Au (111) should be microscopically homogeneous (e.g. Pt/Au cubo-octahedral crystals with a high level of (111) faceting), but if the "fuel" is ethanol, the Group VIII noble metal and the Au (111) can be combined in various ways, including macroscopic homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous blends.

摘要： The gas-sensing electrodes prepared according to this invention are specifically designed for cells which operate in a current-limited mode, i.e. at current densities well below 20 mA/cm.sup.2. Such cells are particularly useful to measure or detect a gaseous component of a gaseous environment or stream, provided the gaseous component can be electrochemically oxidized or reduced. In an alkaline, metal-oxygen cell for example, an electrode of this invention can be used as an oxygen cathode. The electrode is prepared by:(a) bringing an exposed face of a self-supporting, electrically-conducting sheet of fibrous or sintered-particle material having a thickness of at least about 30 .mu.m and a flexural strength of at least 2000 kPa into contact with an electrolyte containing ions of a catalytic metal, the electrolyte also being in contact with a counterelectrode,(b) applying a pulsed-D.C. current which tends to favor electroplating of metal and strong adherence of the plated metal to the electrically-conducting sheet, so that a continuous electrodeposited layer of catalytic metal is formed, and(c) applying a hydrophobic layer to the thus-plated face, this hydrophobic layer being thick enough to limit gas diffusion into the cross-section of the sheet, so that the resulting electrode will operate in a current-limited mode, but not so thick as to have a significant adverse effect upon the response time of the cell.
