The thermodynamic and the kinetic absorption behaviour of the Hydrogen in nanometer-sized Palladium clusters will be discussed. Pressure-concentration isotherms (P-x-T) obtained from gravimetric measurements will be presented. The absorption isotherms resemble those for bulk palladium above the critical temperature showing a sloped plateau. However, adsorbtion isotherms show the existence of a hysteresis even in the smallest (3.0 nm ) clusters indicating a phase transition. Structural information obtained by in-situ XRD measurements during Hydrogen loading will be presented. The large Pd clusters show the (α-β) phase transition common for bulk Pd, whereas smaller clusters show another type of phase transition. The effect of the cluster size and structure on these observations will be discussed.
