Abstract: The electrodes were made of tungsten carbide and their activity in the electrooxidation of some carbonaceous fuels dissolved in acid electrolyte was tested by recording the polarization curves. It was found that the most active WC catalyst could be obtained by low-temperature carburization of fine-grained powdered tungsten with carbon monoxide.
