<p>METHOD OF ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS A method for electrocatalytically reacting various oxidizable organic compounds by introducing current by means of an anode into an electrolyte of a cell containing the oxidizable organic compound. The anode comprises an electrocatalyst material which has at least one compound of the formula: A2 ¢B2-xB'x! O7-y wherein A is selected from any of the pyrochlore structure metal cations in a group consisting of: Pb, Bi, and Tl, wherein B' is selected from any of the pyrochlore structure metal cations in a group consisting of Pb, Bi, Tl, and Sn; wherein B is a pyrochlore structure metal cation at least a major portion of which is selected from a group consisting of at least one of: Ru, Rh, Ir, and Os, wherein y is equal to or greater than zero and equal to or less than one; and wherein x is equal to or less than one and equal to or greater than zero.</p> |
