Abstract
THE investigation of catalytic activity in a series of alloys or oxide systems to obtain correlation between activity and electronic constitution1,2 is frequently tedious and time-consuming. It has now been established that comparable information may, in certain cases, be rapidly obtained by galvanostatic measurements discussed here in respect to hydrogen chemisorption on palladium–gold alloys, but already extended in these laboratories to hydrocarbon systems.
