Abstract

In today’s world, it becomes a necessity to develop an eco-friendly and renewable energy source to overcome the pollution and energy requirement problem. Among all renewable energy sources, hydrogen has been found a more attractive energy carrier due to its high efficiency and cost-effective sustainable energy source. For practical use of H2 as an energy source, it should be separated from a mixture of gases by using hydrogen-selective membranes. In the present chapter, we have reviewed the membrane-based gas separation process. Furthermore, we have summarized the H2 gas separation data based on the different membranes and approaches to prepare hydrogen-selective membranes.
