Abstract

In order to investigate the hydrogenation of intermetallic compounds, a gas pressure cell for in situ neutron powder diffraction based on a sapphire crystal tube was constructed. By proper orientation of the single crystal Bragg peaks of the container material can be avoided, resulting in a very low diffraction background. Using a laser heating and gas pressure controller, the hydrogenation (deuteration) of palladium and palladium rich intermetallics was studied in real time up to 8 MPa gas pressure and 700 K. Crystal structure parameters of palladium deuterides could be obtained under various deuterium gas pressures, corresponding to compositional ranges of 0.04≤x≤0.11 for the α-phase and 0.52≤x≤0.72 for the β-phase at 446 K. In situ neutron powder diffraction of the deuteration of a thallium lead palladium intermetallic Tl1-xPbxPd3 shows two superstructures of the cubic closest packing (ccp) to transform independently into a AuCu3 type structure. This proves a direct reaction to the deuterium filled AuCu3 type structure instead of a reaction cascade involving different ccp superstructures and thus gives new insights into the reaction pathways of palladium rich intermetallic compounds.
