The Kinetics of Absorption and Evolution of Hydrogen by Palladium and Palladium/Platinum Electrodes

Abstract

The kinetics of absorption and desorption of hydrogen by palladium and a series of palladium/platinum alloy electrodes have been examined in hydrochloric acid solutions near their equilibrium hydrogen contents (1 atm H2:25°C). The kinetics have been correlated with previous studies of absorption where the desorption rate could be neglected.
