Classification: CPC F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 4:
5. A method of electrocatalytic hydrogenation of a reactant, comprising:
contacting a particulate micro-galvanic couple with at least one conductive aqueous solution to form hydrogen,
electrocatalyzing the reactant with the particulate micro-galvanic couple and the hydrogen to form a metal compound and a hydrogenated reactant,
wherein the particulate micro-galvanic couple comprises particles of at least one less active conductor and particles of at least one more active metal conductively and fixedly bonded together; and
wherein the particles of the at least one less active conductor and the particles of the at least one more active metal retain their natural properties when conductively and fixedly bonded together.
