Abstract
In a galvanostatic expt. of charging D in a Pd cathode, nuclear and thermal effects were found. A sintered Pd electrode shaped as a parallelepiped was used. After 6 days of electrolysis at 200 mA/cm2, a simultaneous emission of n, T excess in the electrolytic soln., and temp. rapid increase were obsd. During the event which lasted 4 min., an emission of 7.2 × 105 n was estd. while the electrode temp. reached 150°. Excess of T was evaluated to be (2.14 ± 0.04) × 1011 atoms. If the energy released as heat, 176 J, is compared with the energy assocd. to the d + d reactions, 0.1 J, 3 orders of magnitude are still defective. Electrode characterization after the events is reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
