A palladium bielectrode has been used in a viscous electrolyte consisting of glycerin and phosphoric acid. The transport of molecular hydrogen from and to the electrode is remarkably diminished in this electrolyte in comparison with aqueous electrolytes. Therefore, changes of the electrode potential are unambiguously related to concentration changes caused by diffusion within the electrode. A single current pulse and a potentiostatic technique were applied to determine the diffusion coefficients of H in Pd over a wide range of concentration and at different temperatures. New evaluation methods for current‐time and potential‐time curves also yield values of the initial concentration, which are in excellent agreement with the values calculated from previous coulometric titrations. A special arrangement of two bielectrodes also allows the measurement of small differences in the diffusivities of hydrogen in the two electrodes. Results for hydrogen diffusion in pure palladium are in excellent agreement with Gorsky effect measurements.
