Abstract
Electrodes can adsorb different reaction intermediates under electrochemical conditions, which in turn significantly affect their electrochemical performance. This complex phenomenon attracts continuous interest in both science and industry for understanding the co-electrosorbed structure and activity under electrochemical conditions. Here, we report the first theoretical attempt by combining the machine-learning-based global optimization (SSW-NN method) and modified Poisson-Boltzmann continuum solvation (CM-MPB) based on first-principles calculations to elucidate the potential-dependent co-electrosorbed species on the Pd(110) surface. We reveal the potential-dependence adsorption/absorption hydrogen phases, the phase transition of α-Hri/Pd to β-Hri/Pd, and the co-electrosorbed Hri-NHy surface structures. In particular, we found that Hri-NH2 and Hri-NH3 are favorable intermediates for the N2 reduction reaction, and the subsurface H is the key species responsible for NH2 hydrogenation on the Pd(110) electrode.

Abstract
Contrary to the electrochemical energy storage in Pd nanofilms challenged by diffusion limitations, extensive metal-hydrogen interactions in Pd-based metallic glasses result from their grain-free structure and presence of free volume. This contribution investigates the kinetics of hydrogen-metal interactions in gold-containing Pd-based metallic glass (MG) and crystalline Pd nanofilms for two different pore architectures and nonporous substrates. Fully amorphous MGs obtained by physical vapor deposition (PVD) co-sputtering are electrochemically hydrogenated by chronoamperometry. High-resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscopy and corresponding energy-dispersive X-ray analysis after hydrogenation corroborate the existence of several nanometer-sized crystals homogeneously dispersed throughout the matrix. These nanocrystals are induced by PdHx formation, which was confirmed by depth-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, indicating an oxide-free inner layer of the nanofilm. With a larger pore diameter and spacing in the substrate (Pore40), the MG attains a frequency-independent impedance at low frequencies (∼500 Hz) with very high Bode magnitude stability accounting for enhanced ionic diffusion. On the contrary, on a substrate with a smaller pore diameter and spacing (Pore25), the MG shows a larger low-frequency (0.1 Hz) capacitance, linked to enhanced ionic transfer in the near-DC region. Hence, the nanoporosity of amorphous and crystalline metallic materials can be systematically adjusted depending on AC- and DC-type applications.

Effect of Hydrogen Electrosorption on Mechanical and Electronic Properties of Pd 80Rh 20 Alloy. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13010162. [PMID: 31906299 PMCID: PMC6982334 DOI: 10.3390/ma13010162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
The interaction of hydrogen with Pt-group metals and alloys is at the center of research in the fields of electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, hydrogen technologies and fuel cells developed under the Hydrogen Economy. In this work, the material under study was Pd80Rh20 alloy (50 μm foil) subjected to hydrogen electrosorption at potentials corresponding to formation of α, α-β and β phase in 0.1 M H2SO4 at 25 °C. The total amount of hydrogen adsorbed at the surface and absorbed in octahedral interstitial positions of fcc Pd80Rh20 alloy, was determined from the oxidation charges. The H/(Pd+Rh) was 0.002, 0.4 and 0.8 for α, α-β, and β Pd80Rh20H, respectively. Microindentation hardness testing and nanoindentation showed weakening of mechanical properties of the Pd80Rh20 alloy after hydrogen electrosorption due to internal stresses. Decrease of work function with increasing amount of hydrogen absorbed occurred due to the surface roughness changes and the presence of electropositive hydrogen atoms absorbed in the crystal lattice responsible for the dipole interaction. The detailed mechanism of hydrogen absorption/diffusion in the Pd80Rh20 alloy structure is discussed. The obtained results give a new insight into the relationship between the amount of absorbed hydrogen and mechanical and electronic properties of the Pd80Rh20 alloy at the micro- and nanoscale.

Abstract
Nickel hydride batteries (Ni-MH) are known of their good performance and high reliability at temperatures below 0 °C, which is significantly dependent on electrolyte composition. Here we present the low temperature characteristics of pristine AB5-type alloy, LaMm-Ni4.1Al0.3Mn0.4Co0.45, determined in various alkali metal hydroxide solutions. We found that the combination of KOH with NaOH showed a significant effect of enhancement of low temperature performance of the electrode material and diffusion of hydrogen in the alloy. This 6M binary mixed NaOH/KOH electrolyte, comprising 4M KOH component and 2M NaOH component, made it possible to maintain 81.7% and 61.0% of maximum capacity at -20 °C and -30 °C, respectively, enhancing the hydrogen storage properties of the alloy after reheating to room temperature.

Abstract
Hydrogen sorption/desorption signals observed on cyclic voltammograms in experiments on hydrogen electrosorption into Pd-noble metal alloys (Pd-Au, Pd-Pt, Pd-Rh, Pd-Ru, Pd-Pt-Rh, Pd-Pt-Au) were characterized. The influence of electrosorption potential, scan rate and alloy bulk composition on the features of the hydrogen peaks was investigated. The experimental results were compared with those obtained on the basis of a model taken from the literature. It was confirmed that the rate of the α-β phase transition controls the overall rate of the process of hydrogen absorption/desorption into/from thin Pd-based electrodes. It was demonstrated that from the analysis of the changes of the hydrogen oxidation peak potential with the hydrogen electrosorption potential in cyclic voltammetric experiments it is possible to determine the limiting Pd bulk content, below which the β-phase in the alloy-hydrogen system is not formed.
