Nv. Korovin et al., INFLUENCE OF ADATOMS AND ANODIC-OXIDATION ON THE CHEMICAL AND PHASE-COMPOSITION OF RANEY-NICKEL SURFACE CATALYSTS, Russian electrochemistry, 29(4), 1993, pp. 631-639
The methods of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray phase analys
is were used to study the elementary phase and surface composition as
well as component valence states in nickel-based Raney surface catalys
ts (Ni-RSC) in their original condition, after Cd adatom modification,
and after anodic oxidation. The processes occurring in the surface an
d inner catalyst layers during leaching, cathodic polarization, anodic
polarization, and immersion treatments of electrodes with RSC were id
entified by comparing the data obtained with literature data.
