Hydrogen-Induced Changes in Palladium Surface Structure: Field Ion Microscopy Study
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work the field ion microscopy technique was used in order to examine hydrogen-induced changes in palladium surface structure in the context of surface palladium hydrides formation. The goal of the study is to determine the crystallographic planes on which the particles of interest are formed with greatest intensity. Employing a method which consists in finding the differences in the brightness of field ion microscopy images we found that the structures of palladium surface hydrides, the size of which varies from 1 to 30 nm, develop mainly on {110} planes of palladium.

بررسی قابلیت جذب هیدروژن در ماده مرکب نانوساختار SBA-16-Pd
The purpose of this work was to study the hydrogen adsorption on the surface of mesoporous materials based on silica (SBA-16) modified with palladium via temperature. Since mesoporous silica materials have a high specific surface area, and the ordered mesoporous size of 2-10nm, they are suitable for adsorption and storage of hydrogen. SBA-16 is suitable for this purpose due to its cubic crystal...

متن کاملStructural changes induced by hydrogen absorption in palladium and palladium–ruthenium alloys
The structural changes in Pd and Pd–Ru alloys induced by the repeated absorption–desorption of hydrogen have been studied. It is found that absorption–desorption cycles produce structural changes in Pd whereas the addition of small amounts of Ru inhibits these hydrogen-induced changes. The experimental results show that bulk hydrogen absorption occurs in Pd, while hydrogen surface adsorption be...
متن کاملCoalescence-induced crystallisation wave in Pd nanoparticles
Palladium nanoparticles offer an attractive alternative to bulk palladium for catalysis, hydrogen storage and gas sensing applications. Their performance depends strongly on surface structure; therefore, nanoparticle coalescence can play an important role, as it determines the resultant structure of the active sites where reactions (e.g. catalysis) actually take place, i.e. facets, edges, verti...
