Pd in or on Ti oxide films is in a valence state of 0 (Pd0). Catalytic activity was shown by Pd0 in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Therefore, the enhanced hydrogenation properties of Ti–Pd alloys for hydrogen storage materials is due to Pd0's catalytic activity in dissociating hydrogen molecules. In addition, the potential catalytic activity of Ti–Pd alloys was shown to be based on a Pd catalyst., This research was financially supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency's Matching PlannerProgram, the Kansai University Fund for Supporting Young Scholars (2015) and JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 17K14837.}, title = {Surface Properties of Air-Exposed α-Ti–Pd Alloys via XPS and Cross-Coupling Reaction}, year = {2018} }
