I have been working with JP over the past month to attempt to form a thin, continuous film of PdAg on a pnc-Si membrane using e-beam evaporation. The aim of this is to test these for selective hydrogen permeability at…

Proposed Dielectrophoresis (DEP) Tests w/ Microporous SiOx Membranes
The Gaborski lab has been working with Blanca’s lab performing some scoping tests w/ SiN and SiOx microporous membranes. The aim is obtain proof of concept results regarding the efficacy of using a microporous membrane to trap sub-micron particles with…

High Temperature Sepcon Holder Concept
For the upcoming tests I have planned for H2 purification, I need a fixture to hold the pnc-Si membranes (Sepcon format) that is compatible with operation up to 500 C. No polymers are going to work. I describe the approach…

Palladium membrane hydrogen purifier
I have been talking with JP about getting some pnc-Si membranes coated with ~10-20 nm layers of Pd (or Pd-Ag) to do preliminary tests on hydrogen permeation devices. Tom and I are thinking of submitting a proposal. This kind of…
