A metal oxide catalyst of high surface area is prepared by dissolving a metal salt in a polar organic solvent, precipitating the metal from solution in a form thermally decomposable to the oxide by means of a precipitating agent which is sparingly soluble in the solution, separating the precipitate, drying and calcining to form the metal oxide. The technique is particularly suitable for the preparation of Group VIIIA metal oxide catalysts which are useful for the conversion of carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons.

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.

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.
