Abstract
Methods have been developed to modify the surface of Pd-23%Ag alloy films in order to increase the rate of hydrogen transfer with appearance of palladium coatings of the “nanostar” and “nanopore” types. The gas transport parameters of the membranes which surface is activated using the developed methods were investigated. The modification of surface of Pd-Ag films synthesized by star-like palladium nanocrystallites allows achieving a hydrogen flux density of up to 0.75 mmol / (s × m2) - that is 1.7 times more than in case of modification modified by “nanopore” type coating of sufficiently thin palladium membranes (< 10 µm) under low temperature (<100 °C) and pressure (<0.6 MPa).
