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.
