Electrochemical characterization of a hydride-forming metal alloy surface-modified with palladium

Surface functionalization of porous ZrO2–TiO2 membranes using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in palladium electroless deposition

“…As expected, an increase in the intensity of the Pd primary [1 1 1] peak was observed with an increase in the deposition time and an increase in the layer thickness and metal loading. It was suggested in [30] that electroless plating of Pd lead to the rise of amorphous Pd layers, which were observed in the XRD study of Pd-modified model poly-ethylene-terephthalate supports.…”

Electrochemical Behavior of a Pd Thin Film Electrode in Concentrated Alkaline Media

“…Studying Pd properties in concentrated alkaline solutions is important not only in the aspect of basic research, but also in the application aspect, since Pd is still considered as a small addition [22] to commercially used alloys in hydride batteries [23][24][25][26]. Pd addition results in lower charge/discharge overpotentials, lower charge transfer resistance and improved cycle life [25].…”

“…Pd addition results in lower charge/discharge overpotentials, lower charge transfer resistance and improved cycle life [25]. Modification of the alloys with the palladium also accelerates the activation process and enhances the ratecapability [24,26].…”

Electrochemically elaborated palladium nanofilms on Pt(111): Characterization and hydrogen insertion study

“…. [13][14][15] and a better understanding of the electroinsertion of hydrogen in low-dimensional and well defined Pd films is still required. For such studies, single crystalline supports can be used to prepare well defined epitaxial deposits [16][17][18].…”
