Abstract
Hydrogen-interaction with solid solutions of the composition Cu0.08Zn0 .020 and Cu 0.15Al0.10Zn0.75O* has been studied. It is shown that at catalytic temperatures the surface of anion-modified zinc oxide contai ns epitaxially bonded metallic copper particles. Reversibility of this phenomenon upon removing hydrogen indicates that in hydrogen medium a complex system consisting of the oxide stabilized by protons and epit axially bonded with oxide metal copper particles formed.
