<<because those who are familiar with the history of catalysis know that platinum and palladium are considered to be "poisoned" catalysts if they have been in contact with water. In other words, no hydrogen adsorption would take place if the catalyst had been poisoned with water, among other substances.

So how could the deuterium adsorption take place in a palladium cathode under water? Short answer: It couldn't. >>

Blimey Michael - I've never seen this mentioned before! If true, it is a *Eureka* observation - well done!!!
