Abstract
AT suitably activated palladium cathodes, the diffusion or hydride component of hydrogen Overpotential η2 (or ηd) can be separated conveniently from the total apparent Overpotential, η, by extrapolation of plots against time of changes in the open circuit potential, E, measured after cessation of electrolysis1–3.
