Abstract

A Pd-Cu-Ni alloyed hydrogen membrane has fabricated on porous nickel support formed by nickel powder. Porous nickel support made by sintering shows a strong resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and thermal fatigue. Plasma surface modification treatment is introduced as pre-treatment process instead of conventional HCl wet activation. Nickel was electroplated to a thickness of $2{\mu}m$ in order in to fill micropores at the nickel support surface. Palladium and copper were deposited at thicknesses of $4{\mu}m$ and $0.5{\mu}m$, respectively, on the nickel coated support by DC sputtering process. Subsequently, copper reflow at $700^{\circ}C$ was performed for an hour in $H_2$ ambient. And, as a result PdCu-Ni composite membrane has a pinhole-free and extremely dense microstructure, having a good adhesion to the porous nickel support and infinite hydrogen selectivity in $H_2/N_2$ mixtures.

니켈 분말을 이용하여 제조된 다공성 니켈 지지체 위에 팔라듐-구리-니켈 합금 수소 분리막을 제조하였다. 다공성 니켈 지지체는 열적안정성과 수소취성에 강한 모습을 나타내었으며, 다공성 니켈 지지체에 기존의 습식 방식인 염산에 의한 표면 전처리 방식을 건식 방식인 플라즈마 표면개질로 대체하였다. 다공성 니켈 지지체의 기공을 매립하기 위해 전해도금방식으로 $2{\mu}m$의 두께로 코팅하였으며, 그 후 니켈 도금된 지지체 위에 스퍼터 방식으로 팔라듐을 $4{\mu}m$, 구리를 $0.5{\mu}m$의 두께로 코팅하였다. 이와 같이 제조된 시편을 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 구리 리플로우를 통해 미세기공이 없는 매우 치밀한 팔라듐-구리-니켈 합금 분리막을 제조하였다. 그 결과 팔라듐-구리-니켈 합금 수소분리막은 다공성 니켈지지체와 좋은 접착성을 가지고 있으며 수소-질소 혼합가스에서 무한대의 분리도 값을 나타내었다.
