Abstract

CHEMISORPTION and catalysis on palladium have been attributed to holes in the d band of the metal1. Earlier work has shown that ambient gases change the thermoelectric power of silver2 and copper3. The present communication demonstrates how simultaneous measurements of thermoelectric power and resistance show how chemisorbed hydrogen affects the Fermi-level of palladium at the metal–gas interface.
