AbstractDense metal membranes are a well-developed technology for the production of high-purity hydrogen. The physical mechanism of hydrogen transport across metal films—dissociation of molecular hydrogen, diffusion of interstitial atomic hydrogen, and subsequent recombinative desorption of molecular hydrogen—means that metal membranes can have extremely high selectivities for hydrogen transport relative to other gases. We describe current experimental and theoretical trends in the development of metal alloy membranes for hydrogen purification in practical, chemically robust processes.

ABSTRACTThe mechanism (or mechanisms) of hydrogen transport in a-Si:H is of great intrinsic interest but is also important for the understanding of a number of phenomena such as light induced defects. We find that the literature includes many calculations for the activation energy for hydrogen diffusion that are at best misleading and often interpreted incorrectly. In this paper we summarize a number of calculations that apply to particles hopping in complex media and apply the results to a-Si:H. These calculations, coupled with existing estimates of the energy of various H configurations in a-Si:H, show that the standard picture is likely to be incorrect. However, previous work on the mobility of molecular hydrogen in crystalline Si coupled with some molecular dynamics simulations presented in this paper show that the mobile species of hydrogen in a-Si:H may well be molecular.
