The use of reduction instead of thermal decomposition of catalyst precursor salts after freeze‐drying resulted in significant improvement of the anodic oxidation of impure . The electrode performance was at in containing , and over in containing . Catalysts prepared by thermal decomposition of freeze‐dried precursor salts had little activity for in a stream containing . The use of stripping and electron microscopic examination showed that a higher surface area and greater number of interfaces are responsible for the improved performance. ©2000 The Electrochemical Society
