Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-224 Warszawa, ul. Kasprzaka 44/52, Poland Adsorption of methane, ethane and propane and their coadsorptlon with hydrogen on evaporated palladium thin films at 195 K

and 298 K

was

Investigated by means of surface potential change measurements, observation of gas phase composition and volumetric measurements. Adsorption at 195 K occurs without any significant decomposition of hydrocarbon admolecules while at 298 K, approximately 10% of total deposit of ethane and propane can be decomposed. Propane admolecules promote strongly incorporation of coadsorbed hydrogen adatoms Into the bulk of palladium film at 195 K.
