title: Extremely thin Pd-silica mixed-matrix membranes with nano-dispersion for improved hydrogen permeability.
abstract: Pd-silica mixed-matrix membranes with superior H(2) permeability and hydrothermal stability at high temperatures were successfully fabricated using a sol-gel method. The Pd-silica layer was quite thin (100-200 nm) and small Pd particles (several nm) dispersed well in an amorphous silica matrix.
