Abstract

Here we show that neutron diffraction can experimentally measure distances involving hydrogen on real catalysts. This method is applicable to adsorbed hydrogen (and other hydrogenous species) on crystalline, nanocrystalline or amorphous materials, supported and unsupported metals as well as oxides and works at ambient temperature and pressure.
