Emergence of an electric field in finely disperse dielectrics during their interaction with hydrogen

Resumo

The interaction of hydrogen molecules with the surface of the particles of a finely disperse dielectric CsNO₃, KMnO₄, or Pb(NO₃)₂ was found to be accompanied by the emergence of an electric field in the powder layer. This effect is independent of the material of the identical metal electrodes (Pt, Au, Hf, Mo, Pb, Al) and is determined by the decay into hydrogen Н⁺ ions and the electrons of the chemisorbed Н₂ molecules.
