Abstract
The hydrogen permeation characteristics of alloy membranes based on Pd-coated V 90Al 10 alloy membrane have been investigated in the pressure range 1–3 atm under pure hydrogen and hydrogen–carbon dioxide gas mixture at 450 °C. Hydrogen permeation experiments have been confirmed that hydrogen flux was 21.1 ml/min/cm 2 for a Pd-coated V 90Al 10 alloy membrane (thickness: 0.5 mm) using pure hydrogen as the feed gas. It has been found that Pd-coated V 90Al 10 alloy membranes exhibit good resistance to hydrogen embrittlement in pure hydrogen atmosphere. After different hydrogen permeation flux tests under different pressure condition in presence of hydrogen–carbon dioxide gas mixture, the characteristics of the Pd-coated V 90Al 10 alloy membranes were examined by ex-situ analysis techniques. The loss of cell performance observed in the presence of hydrogen–carbon dioxide gas mixture is mainly attributed to both physical and chemical degradations of membrane, which led to structural changes in the Pd-coated V 90Al 10 alloy membrane.
