Article Synopsis
- The binary compound CuAs was re-investigated for its formation and crystal structure, confirming it crystallizes in a hexagonal form at room temperature, differing from previous reports.
- It melts congruently at 835 °C and exhibits a slight understoichiometry in one atomic site, leading to the refined composition CuAs.
- A first-order structural transition to a lower-temperature trigonal form occurs at 243 K, which is characterized by a unique copper sublattice and further structural changes at lower temperatures, detected through differential scanning calorimetry.
Platinum-dysprosium (Pt-Dy) alloys prepared by the arc melting technique are assessed as potential electrodes for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using voltammetry and chronoamperometry in alkaline media. A relatively small change (10 at.%) in the alloy composition brought a notable difference in the alloys' performance for the ORR.
