A surface acoustic wave (SAW) of the Rayleigh-type caused changes in the catalytic activity of a thin Cu film deposited on the SAW propagation path. For ethanol oxidation below 393 K, the catalytic activity increased considerably with SAW on, and the activation energy of the reaction decreased from

โฆ Synopsis
Poled ferroelectric single crystals of 128 ยฐ Y-cut X-propagation LiNbO 3, 36 ยฐ Y-cut X-propagation LiNbO 3, and 41 ยฐ Y-cut X-propagation LiTaO 3 with different electromechanical coupling coefficients were employed as a catalyst substrate for Rayleigh and shear-horizontal leaky surface acoustic waves (SAWs). Application of the SAWs caused considerable increases in the catalytic activities for ethanol oxidation of 1.5-50 nm thin film Ag catalysts deposited on the SAW propagation path, and higher activation of the catalyst was brought about by ferroelectric crystals with a higher mechanical coupling coefficient.
