Abstract

The lateral and penetrative growth velocities of cerium hydride reaction sites under 100. mbar of hydrogen at 30. °C have been determined from a combination of in situ imaging and post reaction optical and electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy resolved small hydride sites (100. μm) had grown with oblate hemispherical morphology as a consequence of anisotropic growth kinetics. © 2013.
