Abstract: Nonthermal (nonequilibrium) generation of hot electrons (electron-hole pairs) in palladium has been observed due to the chemical energy transfer to electrons in the metal during the exothermal reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition at the aqueous H$_2$O$_2$ solution-palladium interface. The yield of electronhole pairs (per decomposed peroxide molecule) in the metal has been determined.
