ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF A PALLADIUM HYDROGEN DIFFUSION ELECTRODE

Abstract

Electrochemical studies on palladium hydrogen diffusion electrodes indicate that sufficiently high current densities can be achieved making their use as fuel cell hydrogen electrodes practically feasible. Using a palladium oxide catalyst, formed by heating the electrode in air at 600 deg C, maximum current densities of 75 ma/sq. cm at a solution temperature of 24 deg C and 140 ma/sq. cm at 43.5 deg C were achieved.
