Palladium filters could enable cheaper, more efficient generation of hydrogen fuel | The novel design allows the membranes to withstand high temperatures when separating hydrogen from gas mixtures.


MIT engineers developed a palladium membrane, used for filtering gas mixtures to produce pure hydrogen, that remains resilient at much higher temperatures. The filters could be used in advanced separation methods that enable cheaper, more efficient generation of hydrogen fuel.
