The invention refers to the use of porous conductive (metallic or oxidic) films in contact with a solid electrolyte (e.g. stabilized zirconia or beta "-Al2O3) for the catalytic conversion of chemical compounds to other chemical compounds via external or internal application of an electrical potential or current between the conductive catalyst film and a second counter electrode film also in contact with the solid electrolyte. This set-up permits easy application of the recently discovered phenomenon of Non-Faradaic Electrochemical Modification of Catalytic Activity (NEMCA) for the improvement of catalytic properties (activity, selectivity) of metals and conductive metal oxides.
