Abstract

The hydrogen injection reaction into metals and oxides involves hydrogen absorption, followed by hydrogen diffusion through the bulk electrode. There are two models that describe hydrogen absorption in an alkaline solution: (1) the one-step (direct) mechanism and (2) the two-step mechanisms [1–3].
