| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the hydrogen permeability of various ceramic materials using a first principles-calculation based on a density functional theory. From the calculation results of hydrogen absorption in anion-deficient and -substituted ceramic materials, we show that Al2O3 and TiN show large positive absorption energies of hydrogen isotopes, which indicates that these ceramic materials are promising materials for hydrogen permeation barriers. We also investigated the hydrogen permeation in the boundary region of ceramic materials. We shows that the activation barriers of hydrogen diffusion strongly depend on boundary width of ceramic materials, which indicates that we can design new hydrogen permeable membranes and hydrogen separation membranes by controlling boundary structures of nanocrystalline ceramic materials.
