Abstract:
This report describes in a generic way industrial techniques suitable for formation of (noble)
metal films with the aim of preparation of palladium based hydrogen separation membranes on
a large scale. Industrial film formation techniques are used in many other industries, like
semiconductors, laminated foil industry, metal/plastics industries etc. The aim is finding
promising industrial film formation or deposition techniques or routes that can be used for the
manufacture of palladium or palladium alloy membranes.
Input for this report is collected from available literature and private communications with
several companies that are active in the foil/film production. A list of requirements that has to
be met for the palladium/palladium alloy films/foils is cross checked with large scale
manufacture techniques.
It was concluded that vacuum techniques, in particular sputtering, are the most versatile
and promising techniques for the direct deposition of binary, ternary, multicomponent palladium
alloys on porous substrates.
