โœฆ Synopsis


An electrochemical technique has been used to measure the diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in palladium-copper and palladium-niobium alloys between 0 and 50ยฐC. The range of concentration for the copper and niobium additions was 0-lOat.?.,. For all experiments the hydrogen content was kept below 0.1 at.O; and it was found that the diffusivity of hydrogen is remarkably decreased by additions of niobium. This behavior is discussed within the framework of different trapping models. In agreement with these models no dependence of the diffusivity on hydrogen concentration was observed. Copper additions also decrease the hydrogen diffusivity in p~ladium, but the effccl is less pronounced than niobium. A measurable change of rhe activation energy of diffusion was observed only for the niobium alloy with the highest niobium content of 6.5 at.%. The activation energy increased by abour 7 kJ,'mot compared 10 pure palladium. R&urn&-Nous avons utilisC une technique Clectrochimique pour mesurer le coefficient de diffusion de I'hydrogene dans les alliages Pd-Cu et Pd-Nb entre 0 et So"C. La con~ntration en cuivre ou en niobium Ctait comprise entre 0 et IOat.%. Dans toutes les exp&riences. la teneur en hydrogtne itait infkrieure i\ 0.1 at.% et nous avons trouvt que la diffusivite de l'hydrogene Ctait rCduite de man&e remarquable par les additions de niobium Nous discutons ce comportement dans le cadre de diRrents modtles de piigeage. En accord avec ces modtles, nous n'avons pas observi de variation de la diffusivitk en fonction de la teneur en hydrogene. Les additions de cuivre diminuent tgalement la diflusivitk de l'hydro&e dans le palladium. mais I'etTet est moins pronon& que dans le cas du niobium. Nous n'avons pu mesurer une variation de i'tnergie d'activation de le diffusion que dans l'alhage de niobium dont la teneur en niobium (6.5 at.?:) itait la plus forte. L'energie ~activat~on ttait sup&rieure d'environ 7 kJ, mole & celle du palladium pur. Zuummmfarang-Mit einer elektrochemischen Methode wurde der Diffusionskoeffizient van Wasser-stolT in den Legierungen aus Palladium-Kup!cr und Palladium-Niob zwischen 0 und 50ยฐC gemessen. Die Kupfer-und Niobzugaben lagen zwischen 0 und 10 At.-D/o. Bei allen Experimenten wurde der Wasserstoffgehalt unter 41 At.-% gehalten. Es ergab sich, daB die Diffusion von Wasserstoff bei Niobzugaben ~tr~~htlich rcduziert war. Dieses Verhalten wird anhand verschiedener Fails-M~elle diskutiert. In tfbereinstimmung mit diesen Modellen wurde keine Abhgngigkeit da Diffusionsvermi5gens van der Wassentoffkonzentration beobachtet. Kupferzugaben vermindern das Wasserstoffdiffusionswrmiigcn in Palladium such, jedoch ist der Effekt geringer als in Niob. Eine m&bare Anderung in da Diffusions-Aktivierungsenergie wurde nur bei der Nioblegierung mit dem h&hsten Niobgehalt (6,s At.->;) beobachtet. Die Aktivierungsenergie nahm gegeniiber rcinem Palladium urn etwa 7 kJ/Mol zu.
