Continous flowing eletroless pore plating to fabricate H2 selective Pd-Membranes

This procedure aims to significantly advance the manufacturing processes of dense membranes. In fact, the transition from traditional batch to continuous methods enhances production efficiency and membrane quality, thus being possible to reach improved hydrogen permeation capabilities.

Particularly, these novel membranes exhibited a H2-permeance ranging between 3.29·10⁻⁴ and 4.77·10⁻⁴ mol m-2 s-1 Pa-0.5 with H₂/N₂ ideal separation factor greater than 10,000 for the entire set of experiments. This research also addresses key challenges related to the stability and efficiency of membranes, providing relevant insights for their operation during prolonged times even if unfavorable operating conditions are adopted.
