Abstract
In this study, an air bubbling electroless plating (ELP) method was newly developed for the production of Pd composite membranes. The air bubble ELP alleviated the concentration polarization of Pd ions, making it possible to achieve a plating yield of 99.9% in 1 h and form very fine Pd grains with a uniform layer of ∼4.7 μm. A membrane with a diameter of 25.4 mm and a length of 450 mm was produced by the air bubbling ELP, achieving a hydrogen permeation flux of 4.0 × 10-1 mol m-2 s-1 and selectivity of ∼10 000 at 723 K with a pressure difference of 100 kPa. To confirm the reproducibility, six membranes were produced by the same method and assembled in a membrane reactor module to produce high-purity hydrogen by ammonia decomposition. Hydrogen permeation flux and selectivity of the six membranes at 723 K with a pressure difference of 100 kPa were 3.6 × 10-1 mol m-2 s-1 and ∼8900, respectively. An ammonia decomposition test with an ammonia feed rate of 12 000 mL min-1 showed that the membrane reactor produced hydrogen with >99.999% purity and a production rate of 1.01 Nm3 h-1 at 748 K with a retentate stream gauge pressure of 150 kPa and a permeation stream vacuum of -10 kPa. The ammonia decomposition tests confirmed that the newly developed air bubbling ELP method affords several advantages, such as rapid production, high ELP efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability.

Abstract
The influence of the temperature during the growth of Pd-Ag films by PVD magnetron sputtering onto polished silicon wafers was studied in order to avoid the effect of the support roughness on the layer growth. The surfaces of the Pd-Ag membrane films were analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the results indicate an increase of the grain size from 120 to 250–270 nm and film surface roughness from 4–5 to 10–12 nm when increasing the temperature from around 360–510 K. After selecting the conditions for obtaining the smallest grain size onto silicon wafer, thin Pd-Ag (0.5–2 µm thick) films were deposited onto different types of porous supports to study the influence of the porous support, layer thickness and target power on the selective layer microstructure and membrane properties. The Pd-Ag layers deposited onto ZrO2 3-nm top layer supports (smallest pore size among all tested) present high N2 permeance in the order of 10−6 mol·m−2·s−1·Pa−1 at room temperature.

Abstract
Palladium ultrathin films (around 2 μm) with different surface nanostructures are characterized by TEM, SEM, AFM, and temperature programmed reduction (TPR), and evaluated in terms of H2 permeability and H2-N2 separation. A change in the characteristics of Pd seeds by controlled oxidation-reduction treatments produces films with the same thickness, but different surface and bulk nanostructure. In particular, the films have finer and more homogeneous Pd grains, which results in lower surface roughness. Although all samples show high permeo-selectivity to H2 , the samples with finer grains exhibit enhanced permeance and lower activation energy for H2 transport. The analysis of the data suggests that grain boundaries between the Pd grains at the surface favor H2 transfer from surface to subsurface. Thus, the surface nanostructure plays a relevant role in enhancing the transport of H2 over the Pd ultrathin film, which is an important aspect to develop improved membranes that function at low temperatures and toward new integrated process architectures in H2 and syngas production with enhanced sustainability.

Abstract
Dense composite Pd and Pd/alloy membranes are currently being extensively investigated. The synthesis and characterization of these membranes, with a special emphasis on Pd/alloy membranes, are reviewed in this paper. Experimental results on Pd/Cu membranes supported on porous stainless steel exhibited good thermal stability and reasonable hydrogen flux. Furthermore, optical micrographs showed the formation of the dense palladium layer was unaffected by the topological features of the porous stainless steel, although the surface of the support directs the topology of the final Pd layer.
