Key Points

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.

Implication

Shows enhanced anti-poisoning in ZrCo alloys, suggesting improved hydrogen storage reliability.

Abstract

ZrCo alloy is promising for hydrogen isotope storage but suffers severe CO poisoning due to d-orbital back-donation into CO π* orbitals, leading to strong chemisorption that blocks subsequent hydrogen dissociation....
