Fabrication and Characterization of CeO2-NiO/SiC Membranes for Hydrogen Permeation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to enhance the hydrogen permeation, Silicon carbide (SiC) was prepared with CeO2-NiO mixed oxides via sol-gel process and the SiC membranes with various contents of χ wt% mixed oxides (χ = 20, 40, 60 and 80) were fabricated by hot-press sintering (HPS) at 1173 K under vacuum condition. The effect of the CeO2-NiO mixed oxides was studied in terms of properties on hydrogen permeation. All the membranes were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and BET instrument. The hydrogen permeation test was carried out at various temperatures under 0.1 MPa. Hydrogen permeation flux of the 80 wt% CeO2-NiO/SiC membrane, which has the highest value, was obtained at 2.92×10-6 mol/m2sPa, 323 K. The reaction enthalpy (ΔH°) was calculated as - 4.95 J/mol by Arrhenius’s plot.
