A slurry electrode system consisting of a suspension of metal or a supported metal powder in an electrolyte in contact with a gold foil electrode was studied as a hydrogen electrode for the reduction of crotonic acid in a supporting electrolyte of sodium p-toluene sulfonate. Current-voltage curves and current efficiency were studied. Effects of suspension concentration, crotonic acid concentration, butyric acid concentration, pH, and temperature were studied for platinum black and palladium-on carbon slurries. The results are consistent with the view that the potential-determining reaction is the discharge of hydrogen atoms adsorbed on the catalyst. Olefin competes for adsorbed hydrogen and this modifies the observed potential. Very low anodic limiting currents were observed in the presence of olefin, suggesting that it is strongly adsorbed on the anodic hydrogen electrode. The following electrokinetic expressions were established for cathodic currents:(i) for 5% Pd on C log~: log k~-0.42 log CH+--0.013 log CR--0.49 log CRHs-t-0.23 log Wcat w 0.22 EF/RT and (ii) for Pt black log i----log k-l-0.52 log CH+-~ 0.077 log CR-t" 0.028 log CRH2~-0.45 log Wcat--0.30 EF/RT where i is the current, k is a constant, CH+ is hydrogen ion concentration, CR is crotonic acid concentration, CRH2 is butyric acid concentration, Wcat is catalyst concentration, E is the electrode potential, F is Faraday's constant, R is universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.A slurry electrode system consists of a suspension of a metal or a supported metal powder catalyst in an electrolyte in contact with an inert collector electrode. It has a larger surface area on which the electrode reaction can take place than plain plate-type electrodes or porous electrodes made of the same material. Muller and Schwabe (1, 2) first measured the potential of suspended metallic powders in an electrolyte. Later Sokorskii and Druz (3, 4) showed that it was possible to transfer the potential of a powdered metal catalyst suspended in an electrolyte onto a stationary electrode. Boutry, Bloch, and Balaceau (5) showed that a catalyst powder, suspended in an electrolyte in the presence of a conducting collector electrode, had all the properties and uses of a classical compact electrode. Gerischer and Held (6, 7) showed that it was possible to draw considerably higher currents from a suspension of catalyst when hydrogen was oxidized or oxygen reduced. They followed the transport of current by individual catalyst particles by means of an oscillograph. Schwabe and Satsko (8) found that the current drawn by a suspension of platinized carbon was independent of catalyst concentration, whereas the currents obtained with Raney nickel and platinum black were appreciably greater and proportional to the catalyst concentration.
