3D-printed catalyst structures have the potential to broaden reactor operating windows. However, the hydrodynamic aspects associated with these novel catalyst structures have not yet been quantified in detail. This work applies a recently introduced noninvasive, instantaneous, whole-field concentration measurement technique based on infrared transmission to quantify the rate of transverse gas dispersion in 3D-printed logpile structures.

The concept of liquid metal membranes for hydrogen separation, based on gallium or indium, was recently introduced as an alternative to conventional palladium-based membranes. The potential of this class of gas separation materials was mainly attributed to the promise of higher hydrogen diffusivity. The postulated improvements are only beneficial to the flux if diffusion through the membrane is the rate-determining step in the permeation sequence.
