Hydrogen uptake and discharge by thin metallic films under potentiostatic control was studied using x-ray diffraction at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). The formation of metal-hydrogen phases in Pd, Pd-capped Nb and Pd/Nb multilayer electrode structures was deduced from x-ray diffraction data and correlated with the cyclic voltammetry (CV) peaks. The x-ray data was also used to construct a plot of the hydrogen concentration as a function of cell potential for a multilayered thin film. {copyright} {ital 1997 Materials Research Society.}
