Electrocatalytic reduction of PhCH2Br on a Ag–Y zeolite modified electrode†
Abstract
To improve the catalytic efficiency toward the electroreduction of organic halides, a Ag-exchanged Y zeolite (Ag–Y), which was characterized by XRD, BET, ICP, SEM, TEM, XPS, H2-TPR and O2-TPO, has been prepared and modified on glass carbon (GC) electrodes.
