Properties of iron aluminide doped with a catalytic element for the electrosynthesis of sodium chlorate

A new family of cathodic materials for the electrosynthesis of sodium chlorate based on iron aluminide doped with a catalytic element such as ruthenium has recently been reported. Materials are prepared in a metastable nanocrystalline state by milling at high energy, mixtures of Fe3Al and Ru powder. This paper describes the physical, chemical and electrochemical properties of these new compounds.
