Abstract

Hydrides of Zr(Pd_xCr_1−x)₂ pseudobinary compounds (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.175) exhibit slight destabilization and more sloped hydrogen plateau pressures with the increase of the palladium content. The former feature conforms to the rule of reverse stability but violates the trend of increased hydride stability upon increasing the unit cell intermetallic volume. A combination of the two effects, the heat of alloy formation and the crystal volume, shows better correlation with the hydride stabilities than considering separately each property. Hydrogen absorption is found in ZrPd₂ at ∼60 atm and associated with its moderate shear modulus.
