The H2/O2 Reaction on a Palladium Model Catalyst Studied with Laser-Induced Fluorescence and Microcalorimetry

The H2/O2 reaction on a polycrystalline palladium foil has been studied. The experimental methods used were Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and microcalorimetry. The reaction was also simulated with the Chemkin software package. The water production maximum occurs at 40% H2 and the OH desorption ha...
