The catalytic effects of a Pt film supported on the Na{sup +} ion conductor {beta}{double_prime} alumina on the oxidation of ethene under the influence of electrochemical modification was investigated over a range of conditions. Mechanistic aspects of this system without electrochemical modification were revealed through kinetic and spectroscopic studies and compared to the electrochemically modified system. The role of surface Na was found to critical in the catalytic effects of these systems. 22 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
