Abstract:
A rhodium sulfide electrocatalyst formed by heating an aqueous solution of rhodium salt until a steady state distribution of isomers is obtained and then sparging hydrogen sulfide into the solution to form the rhodium sulfide and a membrane electrode assembly with the said electrode and a process for electrolyzing hydrochloric acid.

Catalytic Powder And Electrode Made Therewith

View page
US Patent:
6972078, Dec 6, 2005
Filed:
Oct 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
10/089741
Inventors:
Yu-Min Tsou - Princeton NJ, US
Edmond L. Manor - Brazoria TX, US
Assignee:
The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI
International Classification:
C25B011/00
US Classification:
20429014, 20429001, 20429012, 204292, 204293, 429 40, 429 44, 502101
Abstract:
A catalytic powder comprising a plurality of support metal particles with a porous coating () surrounding the metal particles (), the porous coating comprising either an electrocatalytic metal or an electrocatalytic metal continuous phase in admixture with a particulate material (). An electrode made with the catalytic powder and a method to make the electrode is also disclosed. The present invention is advantageous because the porous coating mixture is first applied to a powder rather than being applied directly to a metal substrate, thereby creating a large internal surface area on the electrode and accordingly, lower overpotential requirements.

US Patent:
20060014637, Jan 19, 2006
Filed:
Jul 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/173095
Inventors:
Lixin Cao - Princeton NJ, US
Yu-Min Tsou - Princeton NJ, US
Emory DeCastro - Nahant MA, US
International Classification:
B01J 23/42
US Classification:
502339000
Abstract:
A method of production of highly alloyed supported or unsupported platinum-ruthenium catalysts by simultaneous precipitation of the corresponding hydrous oxides or hydroxides and subsequent reduction wherein the simultaneous precipitation of platinum and ruthenium hydrous oxides is made possible by mixing two separate precursor solutions of the two metals, one in acidic and the other in basic environment, until reaching a near-neutral pH at which both hydrous oxide species are insoluble.
