Title: Calorimetric study of the palladium hydride and deuteride systems. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5390671

Pressure differential scanning calorimetry was applied to a study of the hydrogenation of palladium metal. The effects of hydrogen and deuterium absorption by palladium metal, the effects of isotope exchanges, and hydrogen and deuterium pressure changes which affect the stoichiometry of PdH/sub x/ and PdD/sub x/ are presented in some detail by this experimental technique. It is emphasized that a pressure differential scanning calorimeter is a quick and convenient experimental means for assessing hydrogen absorption properties of hydrogen storage materials. 13 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
