Claims
- 1. A catalytically-active metal member comprising (1) a metal foil substrate having first and second primary surfaces and an edge surface, (2) a first catalyst and catalyst support material layer electrophoretically deposited on at least a portion of the first primary surface, said layer comprising a first catalyst and a first catalyst support material, and (3) at least one second catalyst and catalyst support material layer electrophoretically deposited on top of said first catalyst and catalyst support material layer, each of said second catalyst and catalyst support material layer comprising a second catalyst and a second catalyst support material, wherein each of said first and second catalyst and catalyst support material layers have a substantially uniform thickness.
- 2. The catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 1 wherein the first and second catalyst support material is a ceramic oxide.
- 3. The catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 2 wherein said ceramic oxide layer has a (i) surface area of about 100-300 m.sup.2 /g on the weight of said ceramic oxide, (ii) pore volume of about 0.5-1.0 cc/g and (iii) a thickness of about 15-60 .mu.m.
- 4. The catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 2 or 3 wherein said ceramic oxide is selected from the group consisting of alumina, ceria, baria, zirconia, titania, lanthanum oxide and mixtures thereof.
- 5. A catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the metal foil substrate is corrugated.
- 6. A catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 1 wherein said first and second catalyst is a precious metal catalyst.
- 7. A catalytically-active metal substrate of claim 1 wherein said first and second catalyst are different.
