We report experimental evidence for the formation of a ‘‘subsurface’’ hydrogen species at 130 K on a Pd(110) single crystal surface. This is well separated by distinct activation energy barriers from species which are chemisorbed or which are dissolved in the Pd bulk, thereby confirming a model of H absorption in Pd in which a subsurface state acts as a reaction intermediate.
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.
