Resumo

Hydrogen occluded in palladium assists in the electrooxidation of formate ions at its surface, by chemically reacting with strongly adsorbed poisoning species and contributing to their release from the surface. Reaction between emerging occluded hydrogen and adsorbed CO regenerates surface sites for the continuous electrochemical oxidation of formate ions.
