I’m working on an idea that I have, and I was wondering if there was something that could repel hydrogen. Not water, not oxygen, just hydrogen. Thanks!
Hydrogen cannot pass easily through a solid surface but, given time, it will leak through a thin balloon membrane.Maija Brandt said:I’m working on an idea that I have, and I was wondering if there was something that could repel hydrogen. Not water, not oxygen, just hydrogen. Thanks!
Which particular bit of that reference could help us with this? I started on it but life's too short.Bystander said:
Very high pressure and very small holes can produce surprising effects (as with reverse osmosis filtering of water) so I guess it might work. The actual numbers involved (dimensions of holes and pressure) would be very relevant.Bystander said:The Pd membrane might be useful for "sorting" hydrogen from oxygen/water.
Not necessary, really; hydrogen is quite "soluble" in palladium.sophiecentaur said:Very high pressure and very small holes
Oh yes, of course - H2 storage for vehicles. PF is just great for fresh ideas injected into threads and for reminding us of stuff that's buried somewhere deep in memory.Bystander said:Not necessary, really; hydrogen is quite "soluble" in palladium.

No, there is currently no material or element that can completely repel hydrogen. However, there are materials that can resist or slow down the movement of hydrogen atoms.
Materials such as palladium, platinum, and gold have been found to have some level of hydrogen repellency. These metals have a strong affinity for hydrogen, causing them to repel it to some degree.
Yes, there are ongoing research efforts to develop materials that can fully repel hydrogen. These efforts include studying the behavior of materials under different conditions and exploring new materials with potential hydrogen repellency.
One of the main challenges in developing a material that can repel hydrogen is finding a material that is both effective and cost-efficient. Another challenge is finding a material that can withstand the harsh environments in which hydrogen is often present.
Yes, a material or element that has hydrogen repellency can also repel other elements or molecules. This is because the basic principle of repelling hydrogen is based on the physical and chemical properties of the material, which can also affect the interaction with other elements or molecules.
