M. Stancheva et al., OXIDATION OF CARBON-MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN ON THE SURFACE OF CRYSTALLINE AND AMORPHOUS CU60ZR40 ALLOYS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 52(1), 1994, pp. 199-204
The activity of amorphous and crystalline Cu60Zr40 alloys has been stu
died. Preoxidation of the alloys results in enhanced activity. The amo
rphous samples reveal a lower catalytic activity. An active catalyst f
or the oxidation of CO is obtained from the crystalline copper - zirco
nium alloy.
