Formation and electronic properties of palladium hydrides and palladium-rhodium dihydride alloys under pressure

Abstract We present the formation possibility for Pd-hydrides and Pd-Rh hydrides system by density functional theory (DFT) in high pressure upto 50 GPa. Calculation confirmed that PdH2 in face-centered cubic (fcc) structure is not stable under compression that will decomposition to fcc-PdH and H2. B...
