Surface-hydrogenation activity regulation toward robust anti-poisoning of ZrCo-based hydrogen isotope storage materials

Puntos clave

• The research aims to enhance the anti-poisoning performance of ZrCo alloys for hydrogen isotope storage.
• Examined surface-hydrogenation activity regulation techniques.
• Analyzed the effects of CO on hydrogen dissociation.
• Utilized both experimental and computational methods to assess performance.
• Enhanced surface hydrogens significantly reduced CO chemisorption.
• ZrCo alloy displayed improved hydrogen dissociation rates under simulated poisoning conditions.
• Findings support stronger resistance to CO poisoning compared to untreated alloys.
