1. A planar palladium structure, comprising:

  • a planar substrate having upper and lower major surfaces and an array of channels extending therebetween, said channels allowing gaseous communication between said upper and lower major surfaces; and

    an array of plural, discrete palladium deposits being distributed on the substrate, said deposits being located in respective channels, said array being distributed with respect to said channels so as to restrict said gaseous communication between said upper and lower major surfaces to a diffusion of hydrogen gas through said deposits;

    whereby the substrate constrains the deformation of the palladium deposits due to the diffused hydrogen gas.
