Abstract:The effect of alloying Cu and Pd on the reactivity pattern
for
formic acid and for ethanol has been examined. The electronic structure
of the material is strongly affected by the alloying, with the d-band
lowered in energy and filled, compared with Pd alone. Hence the reactivity
would be expected to be strongly affected by the alloying. This appears
to be the case for formic acid decomposition, whose decomposition
temperature in temperature-programmed desorption is shifted by alloying
and is between the temper… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
