HYDROGEN-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE UNIT AND ITS MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen-permeable membrane unit obtained by depositing a thin metallic hydrogen-permeable membrane 2 on the surface of a porous support 4 without causing a pinhole and to provide a method for manufacturing the hydrogen-permeable membrane unit. SOLUTION: This hydrogen-permeable membrane unit has the membrane 2 joined to the surface of the support 4. The membrane 2 is formed by incorporating a hole filling material 7 in the support 4, depositing the membrane 2 on the material 7 and then removing the material 7.
