The Active Hydrogen Electrochemically or Thermally Generated on Pd/H3PO4/Pd Catalysts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1987.1945

Hydrogenation of 2-propanol into propane was caused by the hydrogen atoms electrochemically generated on Pd-black of the electrocatalytic cell Pd/H3PO4/Pd.The reaction was also caused by the hydrogen generated through spillover and reverse spillover between Pd and H3PO4.Under closed circuit conditions, the latter hydrogenation over the anode Pd was retarded because of the inhibition of the reverse spillover.
