ABSTRACT:
A catalytic electrode, cell, system and process for absorbing and storing hydrogen (H2) and deuterium (D2) from the gaseous to the solid ionic form. The cell includes a non-conductive sealed housing and a conductive catalytic electrode positioned within the housing which absorbs H2and/or D2gas and stores it in a solid ionic form. These electrodes are formed of palladium (Pd), titanium (Ti), or zirconium (Zr). Each end of the electrode is plated with a layer of gold and encapsulated with a curable resin to form a confinement zone for H± and/or D± storage. The process includes connecting an external d.c. electric power source to each confinement zone during H2and/or D2gas loading of the electrode to cause a plasma-like reaction to occur which drives the H2and/or D2in the electrode to each encapsulated confinement to effect long-term storage of the ion form H± and D± in a solid form for later use.
