Abstract Polypyrrole (PPY) composite powders doped with RuCl3·xH2O of variable mass were prepared by a way of in situ chemical polymerization. Their electrochemical properties were investigated with cyclic voltammetry, charge–discharge tests and ac impedance spectroscopy in 1M NaNO3. Morphology and crystalline structure of these Ru-doped PPY powders were examined by transmission electron mi…
Abstract. The microstructural properties of Au/a-Mn2O3 catalysts moderately pretreated under different atmospheres, i.e., O2, He and H2, in relation to their activities and stabilities on CO oxidation were investigated. The highest initial activity was obtained for the He-pretreated catalyst, which, however, suffered the most severe deactivation with time on stream. Pretreatment with O2 res…
