Composite Pd alloy membranes have been investigated as a means of reducing the membrane cost and improving H2 flux. Recently, we have been able to dramatically reduce the thickness of our Pd alloy membranes to approximately one micron. This is significant because at this thickness, it is the cost of

Pd–Cu composite membranes were made by successive electroless deposition of Pd and then Cu onto various tubular porous ceramic supports. Pure gas (H2, N2) permeability tests were conducted at high temperature with simultaneous annealing to induce intermetallic diffusion. Both the alloy composition a
