Studies of catalytic reactions proceeding on the diamond surface in liquid and gaseous media

摘要

We have studied the possibility to use diamond submicron and nanodispersed powders in reactions of heterogeneous and electrochemical catalyses. The temperature of the 100% transformation of CO into CO{sub}2 has been the measure of the catalytic activity, while apparent and specific exchange currents have been the measure of the electrocatalytic activity of the materials under study. For the first time it has been shown that synthetic diamond submicron and nanodispersed powders are the catalysts of heterogeneous and electrochemical catalyses and show promise for electric-power, space and other industries.
