Abstract

A membrane (10) permeable to a selected gas, e.g., H2, comprises a porous supporting structure (26, 28) having principally nano-sized pores (24) adjacent at least one surface, and plugs (22) of a material permeable substantially only to the selected gas, e.g., Pd or a Pd alloy, located in and sealing the nano-sized pores (24) against gas flow except for the selected gas. The plugs (22) are formed from coagulation of a colloidal solution of the selected material introduced to the nano-sized pores. The nano-sized pores (24) are sufficiently small to afford a strong support structure and minimize the size of the plugs (22), yet large enough to afford an effective diffusivity to the selected gas that does not inhibit its flow there through. The membrane (10) may be part of an integrated structure (12) also including a catalyst material (14), to facilitate the water gas shift reaction of an H2-containing reformate and the selective separation of H2 therefrom as a permeate. The method of making the membrane (10) with the selected-gas permeable plugs (22) in its nano-pores from a colloidal suspension is also included.
