Abstract

Recently a new class of nonprecious metal anode catalysts has been disclosed. The catalysts are based on the Mo‐O‐S system and are excellent catalysts for the oxidation of formaldehyde. IR free polarization data have been obtained as a function of temperature and formaldehyde concentration and at constant hydrogen ion concentration for formaldehyde in hydrochloric acid electrolyte. The data indicate that the catalyst disassociates the formaldehyde, i.e., with subsequent oxidation of the carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The adsorption of the formaldehyde on the catalyst appears to be the rate determining step.
