Abstract

In this study, the intermediate layer in Pd-based hydrogen separation membrane was synthesized to minimize the surface roughness and defects using powder-type and sol-type metal oxides. The surface properties and gas permeation characteristics were analysed by SEM and $N_2$ gas permeation test. The coating layer composed of sol type metal oxides has smooth surface, especially the layer coated by $TiO_2$ sol has little pin holes, cracks and defects. The binary layer composed of powder type and sol type metal oxides has similar flux characteristics to a single sol type layer. The Pd-based composite membrane improved by the binary intermediate layer exhibited $0.32mol/m^2s$ of the hydrogen permeation flux with a selectivity ($H_2/N_2$) of ~10,890 at 672 K and a pressure difference of 1 bar.

본 연구에서는 복합 수소분리막 중간층의 pin hole, crack 및 defect를 최소화하기 위하여 powder type과 sol type의 금속산화물을 이용하여 복합화하였다. 중간층의 표면 형상과 투과 특성은 주사전자현미경(SEM) 분석과 $N_2$ 투과도 테스트를 통해 평가하였으며, 제조한 수소분리막의 성능평가를 위해 $N_2$와 $H_2$를 이용하여 단일가스 투과 테스트를 수행하였다. Powder type과 sol type의 금속산화물을 각각 이용하여 중간층을 적층한 결과 sol type 금속산화물을 이용하여 적층한 중간층의 표면 조도가 매우 낮았으며, 특히 $TiO_2$ sol로 형성된 중간층의 pin-hole, crack 및 defect가 현저히 감소하였다. Powder와 sol을 복합화하여 적층한 중간층은 sol로 형성된 중간층과 거의 유사한 특성을 보였으며, 이를 기반으로 제조한 수소분리막은 1 bar의 압력구배, 672 K의 온도에서 약 $0.32mol/m^2s$의 수소 투과도를 나타내었으며, 선택도는 약 10,890 이상으로 측정되었다.
