The clusters of nickel, platinum, silver, andplatinum/ruthenium mixture were incorporated inzeolite, while pillared smectite was impregnated onlywith silver. The optimal conditions (the temperatureand the atmosphere) for thermal degradation ofacetilacetonate salts were established bythermogravimetric analysis of these salts.The XRD analysis showed that incorporated metallicclusters were crystals only in low degree. It was alsoshowed that impregnation/thermal degradation methoddoes not destroy the aluminosilicate structure at lowercontent of incorporated metal. SEM and TEM analysisshowed that part of metal was incorporated into thezeolite cages, while the other part formd metallicparticles on the outer surface of the zeolite. The zeolitestructre was partly colapsed during incorporation ofnickel in amounts higher then 20 mass%. The specificsurface area, micopore volume and total pore volumeof original and modified aluminosilicates wereevaluated by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.Textural properties parameteres decreased with theincrease of the metal content in the sample.The electrocatalytic properties of modified zeoliteswere investigated in several reactions: oxygenreduction, the oxidation of hydroxil group, the oxidationof carbon monoxide and the oxidation of methanol.The electrochemical behavior of nickel modified zeoliteis similar to the behavior of smooth nickel electrode:the characteristic Ni(OH)2 / NiOOH redox couple aswell as good catalytic activity for oxygen reduction andevolution could be seen on cyclic voltammograms. Themethanol oxidation occurs on nickel oxide. The rate odthis reaction was higher on the sample with highernickel content.The platinum impregnated zeolite showeddiscrepances in comparison to smooth platinumelectrode due to limitation of difusion trough zeolitecages. Current density for methanol oxidation of aboutoko 0.2 mAcm-2 was significantly lower then currentdensity obtained on smooth platinum electrode. Sincethree adjacent Pt sites are initially needed fordissociative methanol adsorption to it can beconcluded that this data also implies high dispersion ofincorporated platinum.The zeolite sample impregnated by platinum/rutheniummixture exhibited the synergistic effect of these twometals in the reactions of oxidation of carbon monoxideand methanol. The onset potentials of oxidation ofcarbon monoxide and methanol were shifted towardmore negative potentials in comparison to platinummodified zeolite. The current densities were 10 timeshigher amounted 18 mA cm-2. Tne increse of totalmetal content from 10 to 20 mass % led toenhancement of electrode kinetic. The oxygen reduction on silver impregnated zeolitefollows 4e- mechanism. This was established bycomparison of these results with reuslts obtained onAg(100) electrode for which 4e- mwchanism wasproved.The XRD analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorptionisotherms confirmed that pillaring process wassuccessful. Smectite was impregnated with 10 mass%of silver. Cyclic voltammogram of silver impregnatedpillared smectite was si,ilar to CV of silverimperegnated zeolite, although the current densitieswere lower due to lower metal content. The oxygenreduction follows 4e- mechanism
