    Electronic Structure and Crystal Phase Stability of Palladium Hydrides

    Electronic structure and crystal phase stability of palladium hydrides Abdesalem Houari∗ Theoretical Physics Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Bejaia, Bejaia, Algeria Samir F. Matar† CNRS, ICMCB, Universit´ede Bordeaux, 33600 Pessac, France Volker Eyert‡ Materials Design SARL, 92120 Montrouge, France (Dated: November 4, 2014) The results of electronic structure calculations for a variety of palladium hydrides are presented. The calculations are based on density functional theory and used different local and semilocal approximations. The thermodynamic stability of all structures as well as the electronic and chemical bonding properties are addressed. For the monohydride, taking into account the zero-point energy is important to identify the octahedral Pd-H arrangement with its larger voids and, hence, softer hydrogen vibrational modes as favorable over the tetrahedral arrangement as found in the zincblende and wurtzite structures. Stabilization of the rocksalt structure is due to strong bonding of the 4d and 1s orbitals, which form a characteristic split-off band separated from the main d-band group. Increased filling of the formerly pure d states of the metal causes strong reduction of the density of states at the Fermi energy, which undermines possible long-range ferromagnetic order otherwise favored by strong magnetovolume effects. For the dihydride, octahedral Pd-H arrangement as realized e.g. in the pyrite structure turns out to be unstable against tetrahedral arrangemnt as found in the fluorite structure. Yet, from both heat of formation and chemical bonding considerations the dihydride turns out to be less favorable than the monohydride. Finally, the vacancy ordered defect phase Pd3H4 follows the general trend of favoring the octahedral arrangement of the rocksalt structure for Pd:H ratios less or equal to one.
  • The Response of Work Function of Thin Metal Films to Interaction with Hydrogen

    The Response of Work Function of Thin Metal Films to Interaction with Hydrogen

    Vol. 114 (2008) ACTA PHYSICA POLONICA A Supplement Proceedings of the Professor Stefan Mr¶ozSymposium The Response of Work Function of Thin Metal Films to Interaction with Hydrogen R. Du¶s¤, E. Nowicka and R. Nowakowski Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences Kasprzaka 44/52, 01-224 Warszawa, Poland The aim of this paper is to summarize the results of experiments carried out at our laboratory on the response of the work function of several thin ¯lms of transition metals and rare earth metals to interaction with molecular hydrogen. The main focus concerns the description of surface phenomena accompanying the reaction of hydride formation as a result of the adsor- bate's incorporation into the bulk of the thin ¯lms. Work function changes ¢© caused by adsorption and reaction concern the surface, hence this ex- perimental method is appropriate for solving the aforementioned problem. A di®erentiation is made between the work function changes ¢© due to cre- ation of speci¯c adsorption states characteristic of hydrides, and ¢© arising as a result of surface defects and protrusions induced in the course of the reaction. The topography of thin metal ¯lms and thin hydride ¯lms with defects and protrusions was illustrated by means of atomic force microscopy. For comparison, the paper discusses work function changes caused by H2 in- teraction with thin ¯lms of metals which do not form hydrides (for example platinum), or when this interaction is performed under conditions excluding hydride formation for thermodynamic reasons. Almost complete diminishing of ¢© was observed, in spite of signi¯cant hydrogen uptake on some rare earth metals, caused by formation of the ordered H{Y{H surface phase.

Printed by Chalmers Reproservice Gothenburg, Sweden 2021 ii Polymer-Nanoparticle Hybrid Materials for Plasmonic Hydrogen Detection Iwan Darmadi Department of Physics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Plasmonic metal nanoparticles and polymer materials have independently undergone rapid development during the last two decades. More recently, it has been realized that combining these two systems in a hybrid or nanocomposite material comprised of plasmonically active metal nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix leads to systems that exhibit fascinating properties, and some first attempts had been made to exploit them for optical spectroscopy, solar cells or even pure art. In my thesis, I have applied this concept to tackle the urgent problem of hydrogen safety by developing Pd nanoparticle-based “plasmonic plastic” hybrid materials, and by using them as the active element in optical hydrogen sensors. This is motivated by the fact that hydrogen gas, which constitutes a clean and sustainable energy vector, poses a risk for severe accidents due to its high flammability when mixed with air.

Moreover, hydrogen gas is a promising energy carrier that aims the delivery of clean energy, bypassing the environmental problems created by carbon-based fuels. Hydrogen production is, however, still reliant on steam reforming of natural gas and coal gasification, despite the innumerous alternatives available. In order to introduce hydrogen in the energy market, hydrogen production costs need to be reduced, and more specifically, hydrogen purification needs to be simplified. In this regard, the use of dense palladium-based membranes for hydrogen purification are especially attractive, but their wide industrial application is impaired mostly by the high cost of palladium and by hydrogen sulfide poisoning. In the current work, the potential use of palladium-copper-gold alloys as membranes for the separation of hydrogen gas was tested. PdCuAu alloys were first prepared by pulsed electrochemical co-deposition on a titanium substrate from Pd(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2 and Au(OH)3 in HNO3 0.35 M, over a wide composition range ([Pd] = 14-74 at.%, [Cu] = 2-82 at.%, [Au] = 0-66 at.%).

    Polish J. Chem., 77, 1059–1077 (2003) REVIEW ARTICLE Equilibrium Study of Iminodi(methylenephosphonic) Acid Complexes with Some Metal Ions by B. Kurzak and A. Kamecka Institute of Chemistry, University of Podlasie, ul. 3 Maja 54, 08-110 Siedlce, Poland (Received December 3rd, 2002; revised manuscript April 25th, 2003) This article discusses coordination preferences of N-substituted iminodi(methylene- phosphonic) acids to the different metal ions in an aqueous solution. These ligands ex- hibit high complexation efficiency towards divalent metal ions. This results from both dinegatively charged phosphonate groups as well as the imino nitrogen present in their structure. A significant preference for an equimolar stoichiometry has been demon- strated in these systems. The only exception is the N-2-methyltetrahydrofurylimino- di(methylenephosphonic) acid with a tetrahydrofuryl moiety, placed in the sterically favoured position that allows its oxygen atom to be an effective metal binding site. Spe- cific interactions between metal ions and furyl oxygen results in higher binding ability of this ligand and a formation of 1:2 species. Coordination properties of iminodi- (methylenephosphonic) acids are important factors to understand the role of the ligands and metal ions in biological systems. A summary presented in this review points on the direction of the research for future work in this area, which should be developed. Polish J.
