This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project targets development of an innovative membrane for separation of hydrogen. The development of advanced hydrogen separation membranes based on an innovative nanostructured architecture and a unique fabrication process is proposed. The proposed approach will enable an ultra-thin Pd separation layer, which should support a 10X or greater increase in hydrogen flux over the state of the art, with no reduction in hydrogen selectivity. The membranes should also exhibit superior reliability and will be produced with low-cost, scalable processes. The expected result of the proposed work is a viable technology for the production of robust hydrogen separation membranes with advanced performance, superior reliability and lower cost. Such an enabling technology could facilitate a variety of current applications, such as hydrogen separation for fuel cells. With suitable developments for application to higher volumes, it could also serve hydrogen recovery from industrial waste streams and improve the efficiency of many energy-intensive petroleum refinement and petrochemical production processes.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）一期项目的目标是开发一种用于分离氢的创新膜。提出了基于创新的纳米结构和独特的制造工艺的先进氢分离膜的发展。所提出的方法将使超薄Pd分离层成为可能，在现有技术水平上，它应该支持10倍或更大的氢通量增加，而不降低氢的选择性。该膜还应表现出卓越的可靠性，并将以低成本、可扩展的工艺生产。该研究为生产性能先进、可靠性高、成本低的氢分离膜提供了一种可行的技术。这种技术可以促进当前的各种应用，例如燃料电池的氢分离。随着适当的发展，应用于更大的容量，它还可以从工业废物流中回收氢，并提高许多能源密集型石油精炼和石化生产过程的效率。
