Abstract: A process for the reductive deposition of polyoxometallate complexes on supports. The process includes the steps of forming a solution of at least one polyoxometallate compound in a solvent, said compound having the formula A.sub.a (L.sub.l M.sub.m J.sub.z O.sub.y), adding a quantity of a support material having electronic conductivity to the solution, charging the solution containing the support material to an electrolytic cell in contact with the cathode thereof, the cell having a separate compartment for the anode, passing a current of from about 0.1 to about 500 mA/cm.sup.2 of electrode area through the cell whereby the support material receives a deposit of a polyoxometallate wherein the average oxidation state of the metals therein has been reduced to a valence greater than zero and, thereafter separating and recovering the support material carrying the reduced metallate complex.

Abstract: Improved activated carbon electrodes are disclosed, which electrodes have increased charge storage capacity. Such improved electrodes are incorporated into energy storage devices such as electrical double layer capacitors. The improved charge storage capacity is due to the adsorption of polyoxometalate compounds into the activated carbon, which compounds are capable of reversible redox reactions and so provide a secondary charge storage mechanism without decreasing the charge storage ability of the activated carbon.

Abstract: A process is provided for the reforming of alcohols, particularly methanol, in the presence of Group VIIA and VIIIA metal carbides at elevated temperature.

Abstract: Improved activated carbon electrodes are disclosed which electrodes have increased charge storage capacity and reduced leakage current. Such improved electrodes are incorporated into energy storage devices such as electric double layer capacitors. The improved charge storage capacity is due to the adsorption of polyoxometalate compounds onto the activated carbon, and reduced leakage current is achieved by stabilizing the polyoxometalate compounds within the activated carbon through the use of a compound capable of generating at least one ionic site.

Abstract: Novel catalyst for the photochemical conversion and storage of radiant energy through the conversion of strained cyclic non-conjugated carbon containing compounds to their corresponding conjugated forms comprises ionically bonding a transition metal complex having a square planar geometry and multiple sites of coordination with an anion-exchange resin. A method is provided for the preparation of the novel catalyst and comprises forming an acid salt derivative of the transition metal complex and mixing it together with an anion-exchange resin. A process wherein the novel catalyst is added to a strained cyclic non-conjugated carbon containing compound resulting in the release of heat energy through the conversion of the non-conjugated carbon containing compound to its conjugated form. A process and sealed container means wherein the non-conjugated carbon containing compound and the catalyst are in compartments and are separated until heat energy is required.
