(JP6508467-W)      An electrochemical or co-deposition process comprises forming a soln. of ions comprising at least one metal (A) capable of forming a H bronze (pref. from W, Mo and V, pref. in the highest oxidn. state) and ions comprising at least one Gp. VIII metal (B) (pref. from Ni, Co, Pd, and Pt), and causing electrodeposition onto a cathodic substrate or co-precipication by incorporating a chemical reducing agent. The deposition soln. pref. comprises one or more (up to 7C) alcohols, and the deposition potential of the substrate is pref. -0.2 to -0.6V vs. SCE. Pref. substrates are Au foil, ITO or C.    The use of the co-deposited materials in the electrochemical oxidn. of organic cpds., esp. (up to 7C) aliphatic alcohols, and gaseous mixts., esp. contg. CO, is also claimed, as are the co-deposited material obtd. and an alcohol fuel cell including it.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   The process may be used to provide enhanced electrocatalysts, esp. for use in alcohol fuel cells in which reduced acid conc. and increased alcohol concn. may be used, in the determn. of the alcohol content of a soln., and in the oxidn. of e.g., reformed gases contg. H, CO2 and CO; and in the formation of deposits for electrochromic applications.
