Abstract
The effect of current density and thickness of palladium deposits have been investigated toward the adsorbed amount and the release rate of hydrogen. Direct and pulsed current depositions were carried out to evaluate their effect on the absorption-desorption rate. We found that at low current densities the formation of the hydrogen-rich β phase, useful in the energy sector, is favored; while at higher current densities the α phase, with a low hydrogen content, desired in the electroplating sector, is preferred. It was also observed that the desorption rate depends on the morphology of the deposit.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
