The present invention applies the fundamental electrochemical NEMCA effect (Non-Faradaic Electrochemical Modification of Catalytic Activity), to the treatment of the automotive exhaust. A solid electrolyte layer is sandwiched between a conductive catalyst layer and the underlying metal honeycomb multichannel supporting structure forming the exhaust treatment device. Electric current is applied between the catalyst layer and the metallic structure resulting in an increase of catalytic activity of the catalyst. The exhaust stream is passing through the multichannel honeycomb structure and is catalytically treated with increased efficiency.

Method and device for treating automotive exhaust

A process is provided for the selective hydrogenation of at least one organic compound having at least one unsaturated group, by bringing the at least one organic compound into contact with a hydrogen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises an active material which is applied to a solid electrolyte to which, in turn, a metallic substrate is connected in such a way that a current flows through the solid electrolyte, so that the active material can be kept at a constant potential and a voltage is applied to
