UV-irradiation assisted functionalization and binding of Pd nanoparticles in polycarbonate membranes for hydrogen separation

For hydrogen-based energy systems development, purified hydrogen (H2) is a basic requirement and it can be achieved by using the H2-selective membranes. For having H2-selective membranes, it is a decent approach to embed the H2-sensitive materials in the polymeric membranes. Palladium (Pd) is one of the widely used materials for hydrogen-selective membranes due to its strong affinity towards H2 absorption. In the present work, we have used Pd...
