Real-time and Direct Observation of Hydrogen Absorption Dynamics for Pd Nanoparticles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Dynamic local structural change of Pd nanoparticles on alumina surface during hydrogen absorption process was directly observed by x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy with dispersive mode. Main four parameters of x-ray absorption spectroscopy were determined even in the case of 50 Hz observation. It is clearly revealed that Pd nanoparticles directly change to the hydride phase in 50 ms at 200 kPa of hydrogen pressure. Although large lattice expansion was observed, significant structural distortion was not investigated in the results of the change of Debye-Waller factor.
