| ==Electrode operation==
| |
| Two phases can coexist in palladium when hydrogen is absorbed:
| |
| *alpha-phase at hydrogen concentration less than 0.025 atoms per atom of palladium
| |
| *beta-phase at hydrogen concentration corresponding to the [[non-stoichiometric]] formula PdH<sub>0.6</sub>
| |
| | |
| The electrochemical behaviour of a palladium electrode in equilibrium with H<sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup> ions in solution parallels the behaviour of palladium with molecular hydrogen
| |
| | |
| :<math>\tfrac{1}{2} \mathrm{H}_2 = \mathrm{H}_{ads} = \mathrm{H}_{abs}</math>
| |
| | |
| Thus the equilibrium is controlled in one case by the partial pressure or [[fugacity]] of molecular hydrogen and in other case—by [[activity (chemistry)|activity]] of H<sup>+</sup>-ions in solution.
| |
| | |
| :<math>E=E^0 + {RT \over F}\ln {a_{\mathrm{H}^+} \over (p_{\mathrm{H}2})^{1/2}}</math>
| |
| | |
| When palladium is electrochemically charged by hydrogen, the existence of two phases is manifested by a constant [[potential]] of approximately +50 mV compared to the [[reversible hydrogen electrode]]. This potential is independent of the amount of hydrogen absorbed over a wide range. This property has been utilized in the construction of a palladium/hydrogen [[reference electrode]]. The main feature of such electrode is an absence of non-stop bubbling of molecular hydrogen through the solution as it is absolutely necessary for the [[standard hydrogen electrode]].
