| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aim to establish a new paradigm in the field of hydrogen permeable metal membranes on the basis of hydrogen chemical potential. In view of the “Consistent description of hydrogen permeability”, the influences of various factors on hydrogen solubility and hydrogen diffusivity have been evaluated quantitatively.
From the new point of view, the origin of the anomalous temperature dependence of the hydrogen permeability at low temperature found in Pd-Ag alloy membrane has been elucidated. Also, a new guideline has been proposed to design V-based alloys with high hydrogen permeability and strong resistance to hydrogen embrittlement for low temperate operation.
It is demonstrated that the newly designed V-Fe alloy membrane maintains 5 to 10 times higher hydrogen permeation flux than that of Pd or Pd-alloy membranes, for more than 1000 hours without showing any hydrogen embrittlement even at low operating temperature of 300 C.
