Co-Deposition of Palladium With Hydrogen Isotopes

Abstract

Palladium was co-deposited with hydrogen isotopes on a Pd cathode. This resulted in enhanced production of excess thermal power. After electrolysis the Pd Lβ / L αratio was found to be increased in characteristic x-ray spectra from localized, microscopic areas on the surface of the Pd cathode. This suggests the possibility that appreciable amounts of silver are present in these areas.

SEEBECK ENVELOPE CALORIMETRY WITH A Pd|D2O + H2SO4 ELECTROLYTIC CELL

“…After the successful public demonstrations of excess heat in Pd|D2O+H2SO4 electrolytic cells at Boston (ICCF10) in 2003 [1,2], we confirmed this anomalous effect using a more accurate calorimeter: a Seebeck Envelope Calorimeter (SEC). The SEC is a cube; the electrolysis cell is placed inside it.…”

“…In particular Pd Lβ /Lαratio is higher on the Pd cathode after electrolysis. As noted previously this may be due to the occurrence of silver after electrolysis [2], because Ag Lαoverlaps with Pd Lβ . For comparison, we present the blank results firstly.…”

“…Closed cells are similar to that used before [1,2] except that the height is less in order to fit into the SEC as shown in Fig. 1(a) and described below.…”
