Enhancement for hydrogen transport properties by tailoring lattice matching in V-Pd-Fe ternary alloy membrane
V-based alloy membranes have huge potential for hydrogen separation and purification due to their higher hydrogen permeability , but suffer from hydrogen embrittlement . To address this matter, Pd and Fe have been chosen as alloying additions in V-based membranes to inhibit hydrogen embrittlement and maintain high hydrogen permeation performance based on the lattice-matching strategy. The phase structure, composition, microstructure and hydrogen permeation properties of V-Pd-Fe ternary alloy are investigated systematically, and the V-Fe and V-Pd binary alloys are presented for comparison. The results show that the prepared V-Pd-Fe ternary can match almost perfectly with pure V in lattice constants . Attributing to the lattice-matching strategy, the V-Pd-Fe ternary alloy exhibits more excellent hydrogen permeable properties than that of V-Fe and V-Pd binary alloys . The reduction of hydrogen embrittlement is ascribed to the lower hydrogen solubility that induced by the lattice distortion and electronegativity of Fe and Pd. Meanwhile, the manipulated lattice constant that parallel to pure V maintains high hydrogen permeation performance. Additionally, the designed ternary V 87.8 Pd 8 Fe 4.2 alloy exhibits exceptional long-term hydrogen permeation stability at 573 and 623 K, and hydrogen flux gradually decreases at 673 and 723 K is observed due to the interdiffusion between Pd film and V 87.8 Pd 8 Fe 4.2 substrate and defects in the Pd coating. This study offers new scenario and method for optimized hydrogen permeable properties and restrains hydrogen embrittlement in the alloy membrane.
