Cobalt electrodeposition in nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide for application as catalyst for methane combustion

The emergence of the individual flake cobalt clusters on the alumina template is considered as the most suitable structure of the monolithic catalysts. The final resulting laminar composite structure with outer layer of Co- and Pd-oxides exhibits higher active catalytic properties for methane combustion than the catalysts obtained by conventional procedure of preparation by impregnation.
