Here we show that neutron diffraction can experimentally measure distances involving hydrogen on real catalysts. This method is applicable to adsorbed hydrogen (and other hydrogenous species) on crystalline, nanocrystalline or amorphous materials, supported and unsupported metals as well as oxides and works at ambient temperature and pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
