Recombination of Hydrogen on Metal Surfaces

The kinetics of the recombination of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium atoms on surfaces is an important topic in catalysis and for studying the properties of plasma-facing materials in nuclear fusion reactors.

This database collects experimentally and theoretically-derived data relating to the parameterisation of the temperature-dependent recombination rate coefficients of hydrogen isotopes on relevant materials.

Recombination temperature dependence formula$$K_r = K_{r0}\exp\left(-\frac{E_\mathrm{r}}{k_\mathrm{B}T}\right)$$
