Title: Pd menbrane having improved H.sub.2-permeance, and method of making

Abstract

An H.sub.2-permeable membrane system (117) comprises an electroless-deposited plating (115) of Pd or Pd alloy on a porous support (110, 110'). The Pd plating comprises face-centered cubic crystals cumulatively having a morphology of hexagonal platelets. The permeability to H.sub.2 of the membrane plating (115) on the porous support is significantly enhanced, being at least greater than about 1.3.times.10.sup.-8 molm.sup.-1s.sup.-Pa.sup.-0.5 at 350.degree. C., and even greater than about 3.4.times.10.sup.-8 molm.sup.-1s.sup.-1Pa.sup.-0.5. The porous support (110, 110') may be stainless steel (1100 and include a thin ceramic interlayer (110') on which the Pd is plated. The method of providing the electroless-deposited plating includes preheating a Pd electroless plating solution to near a plating temperature substantially greater than room temperature, e.g. 60.degree. C., prior to plating.
