Abstract
Ceramic hydrogen separation membranes in the stoichiometric form BaCe 0.8Y 0.2O 3, doped with various concentrations of nickel, were characterized by utilizing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and atomic-force microscopy (AFM). Characterization was performed at room temperature, 550°C and 650°C, and after exposure to hydrogen. Migration of nickel to the surface and changes in both elemental composition and oxidation states were observed at elevated temperatures. The concentration of nickel significantly affects surface morphology and roughness.
