Cover Story: In this study, we demonstrate the fabrication of thin PdCu alloy on Ta support for hydrogen separation from mixed gases produced from the reforming of hydrocarbons. Alloying Cu with Pd can increase the durability of the membrane while mitigating the high cost of whole Pd membranes. Furthermore, the hydrogen dissociation mechanism on PdCu is numerically analyzed via a density functional theory simulation. Our findings greatly contribute to the development of cost‑effective and durable membranes for thermocatalytic hydrogen purification to replace energy-intensive Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) as the mainstream hydrogen separation. View this paper
