HD exchange kinetics have been measured at 100 compositions across CuxPd1-x, AgxPd1-x and CuxAuyPd1-x-y composition spread alloy films.  Photoemission spectroscopy has  been used to measure the valence band density of states.  We correlate measured reaction barriers for H2 adsorption and desorption with the experimentally derived valence band energy.
