Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing a catalyst material, comprising the steps of:
providing a body having an open-porous foam structure and comprising at least a first metal or alloy;
providing particles, each of which particles comprising at least a second metal or alloy;
distributing the particles on the body;
forming a passivation film on the particles;
forming a structural connection between each of at least a subset of the particles and the body; and
forming an oxide film on at least the subset of the particles, wherein the oxide film has a catalytically active surface,
wherein the step of forming a structural connection between each of at least a subset of the particles and the body includes forming sintering bridges between each of at least the subset of the particles and the body in an inert or reducing atmosphere, wherein the sintering bridges may comprise alloys of the metals present in the particles as well as the body, intermetallic phases of those metals or mixed crystals thereof, and wherein the step of forming the passivation film on the particles precedes the step of forming the structural connection between each of at least a subset of the particles and the body.
