TLDR
Several Y-Ba-Cu-O compositions including the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 were scanned for their oxygen uptake using low temperature oxygen chemisorption (LTOC) technique as the principal probe at 195 K as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
Several Y-Ba-Cu-O compositions including the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 are scanned for their oxygen uptake using low temperature oxygen chemisorption (LTOC) technique as the principal probe at 195 K. BET surface area and pore size distribution were also determined. The results indicate their potential for use as mild, deep oxidation catalysts even under ambient and sub-ambient conditions.

Interaction of H 2 O with a high-temperature superconductor

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water on the high-temperature superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ has been studied and shown that water modifies valence-band states, reduces the number of inequivalent Ba sites and induces O 1s corelevel components at 534 and 531 eV.

Oxidation Catalysis on YBa2Cu3O6 + x

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on a catalyst that facilitates both mild and deep oxidation of toluene in the presence of molecular oxygen and ammonia, but at higher partial pressures it preferentially catalyses formation of CO2.

Characterization of supported vanadium oxide catalysts by low temperature oxygen chemisorption technique: II. The V2O5/SiO2 system

TL;DR: In this article, low temperature oxygen chemisorption (LTOC) has been applied to characterize γ-Al2O3 supported vanadium oxide catalysts, and the results strongly suggest the formation of a monolayer with high dispersion of V-oxide on the alumina surface.
