Abstract

A technique that made it possible for the first time to achieve fivefold symmetry in palladium nanocrystallites grown on the surface of a Pd-Cu film has been developed. Pd-40%Cu membrane modification with pentatwinned nanocrystallites with high-index facets made it possible to achieve ultra-high hydrogen permeability up to 10.1 mmol s-1 m-2 at 100 °C. Such permeability, comparable in value to high-temperature analogs, is anomalous, since the predicted values should be more than 2 times lower than those obtained. This result is due to the acceleration of surface dissociative adsorption and recombinative desorption as a result of the pentatwinned particles ultra-high activity in reactions involving hydrogen, which is confirmed by the data on the selectivity of the developed membranes.
