The Hydrides of Palladium and Palladium Alloys
A REVIEW OF RECENT RESEARCHES
Platinum Metals Review
Article Synopsis
In this article, to be published in two parts, some recent findings are included in a review of the pressure-concentration temperature (P—C—T) relationships of the palladium/hydrogen and palladium/deuterium systems. A brief account is given of experimental information concerning the structure of, and diffusion of hydrogen in, the solids which are the products of the absorption of hydrogen by palladium. Attention is paid to considering errors of interpretation of experimental results that can arise when true thermodynamic equilibrium does not exist between the solids and hydrogen molecules—both in the presence and absence of aqueous solution
