DevanathanStachurski
Devanathan–Stachurski, often referred to as the Devanathan–Stachurski cell or method, is a widely used electrochemical technique for measuring hydrogen diffusion and permeation through metal membranes. It was developed in the early 1960s by Devanathan and Stachurski and has become a standard tool in hydrogen embrittlement research and diffusion studies.
Principle and apparatus: A thin metal foil or film separates two electrolyte compartments. The entry side is
Operation and analysis: Typical electrolytes are acidic aqueous solutions, and measurements can be performed across a
Applications and limitations: The method is widely used to characterize hydrogen transport in steels, nickel, palladium,
Legacy: The Devanathan–Stachurski cell remains a foundational technique in materials science, frequently cited and adapted for
