Abstract

Surface analysis of palladium cathodes after prolonged electrolysis in D2O electrolytes shows evidence for the electrodeposition of Pt, Zn and Cu. The platinum comes from the platinum anode used in the work, whilst zinc and copper are present in the D2O. Scanning electron microscopy studies of cast palladium cathodes revealed a diverse surface topology with no single feature present. The effect of electrode pretreatment on the appearance of the microcrystallites is discussed, and evidence for a palladized overlay is presented.
