Design of novel Pd-alloy membranes with controlled composition, homogeneity and nanostructure for hydrogen production under harsh conditions

The primary large-scale industrial hydrogen production route is from natural gas through a process that involves two equilibrium-limited reactions: the steam reforming and the subsequent WGS step, to arrive at a gas which is rich in H2 and low in CO. Hydr ogen selective membranes have frequently ...
