Abstract
IN the development of an oxygen electrode for electrochemical fuel cells, it has been of interest to find effective catalysts for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions of potassium carbonate and potassium hydroxide. We have compared the activity of fourteen catalytic solids.
