Abstract
A process is described wherein hydrogen and its isotopes are dissolved in palladium metal in high density by utilizing electrochemical methods in an electrolytic cell. The cell has an inert anode and a palladium containing cathode, both being immersed in an electrolyte which contains a lithium salt dissolved in an aprotic solvent, and a small amount of water. The dissolved hydrogen to palladium ratio in the palladium bearing cathode, which may be achieved by this process, is in excess of 0.95.
