Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are highly efficient, low-emission, and fuel-flexible energy conversion devices. However, their commercialization has lagged due to the lack of long-term durability. Among several performance degradation mechanisms, cathode degradation and elemental inter-diffusion of the electrolyte and cathode has been identified as the predominant factors.

Article Synopsis
  • A new air bubbling electroless plating (ELP) method was developed for creating palladium (Pd) composite membranes, achieving a high plating yield of 99.9% in just one hour and forming a uniform layer of approximately 4.7 μm.
  • The membranes produced had a diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 450 mm, demonstrating impressive hydrogen permeation flux and selectivity in tests at elevated temperatures and pressures.
  • The ELP method showed consistent results in multiple membranes produced, effectively generating high-purity hydrogen via ammonia decomposition, highlighting its rapid production capabilities and practical applicability for efficient membrane technology.

Nanoparticles have been attracting attention because they can significantly improve the performance of membranes when added in small amounts. In this study, the effect of polyamide membranes incorporating hydrophilic nitrogen/phosphorus-doped carbon dots (NP-CDs) to enhance water vapor/N separation has been investigated. NP-CD nanoparticles with many hydrophilic functional groups are synthesized from chitosan by a one-pot green method and introduced to the surface of the polysulfone (PSf) substrates by interfacial polymerization reaction.
