Description

The extraordinary evolution of heat or γ-ray during the electrolysis by the following procedure are introduced: After the constant-current electrolysis with an applied current of 500 mA at a palladium rod cathode (10 mmφ x 15 mmt) for 3 days in D2O solution containing 0.1 M DCl and 0.01 M PdCl2, the electrolyte solution was replaced by 0.1 M LiOH (H2O) solution, and then the electrolysis with 500 mA was continued. Whole through this experiment a constant current of 5 A which was indifferent to the electrolysis was passed through the palladium rod electrode. The extraordinary phenomena were observed immediately or 30 min after from the replacement of electrolysis solution. The phenomena were difficult to reproduce even by the repeating experiments of the entirely same procedure. Current-potential relations in the electrolysis of D2O or H2O at palladium electrodes and permeation behaviors of deuterium or hydrogen atom through palladium are discussed connecting with the extraordinary phenomena.
