Abstract
SOME examples of relations between the activity and the electrical conductivity of catalyst surfaces have been described, notably by Garner, Gray and Stone1 for copper and copper oxide films. Measurements with a similar degree of accuracy have not been recorded for precipitated catalysts. Experiments with mixed molybdenum oxide–silica (MoO2–SiO2) catalysts, in this laboratory, were discontinued because of the unavoidable presence of metallic molybdenum in such preparations2.
