Abstract In a galvanostatic experiment of charging deuterium in a palladium cathode, nuclear and thermal effects were found. A sintered palladium electrode shaped as parallelepiped was used. After 6 days of electolysis at 200 mA/cm2, a simultaneous emission of neutrons, tritium excess in the electrolytic solution, and temperature rapid increase was observed. During the event which lasted 4 minutes, we counted 7.2×105 neutrons while the electrode temperature reached 150°C. Electrochemical procedure for charging the palladium electrode by deuterium using galvanostatic pulses as well as the associated electrode temperature trends are shown.
