Abstract

Hydrogen transport by 100-μm-thick vanadium and palladium membranes was studied in the pressure range from 1 × 10−8 to 4.5 × 10−1 MPa at a temperature of 400°C. Both sides of the vanadium membrane were covered by 2 μm of palladium (Pd-V-Pd) for facilitating the dissociative absorption and associative desorption of H2 molecules. At low pressures, hydrogen flux densities through vanadium and palladium membranes are nearly the same; at high pressures, the flux through the vanadium membrane becomes 16 times larger than the flux through the palladium membrane and attains a value of 2.4 scc cm−2 s−1. This flux of permeating hydrogen is larger than all values ever observed earlier for membranes made of group 5 metals or any other unsupported metal membranes.
