Hydrogen-permselective asymmetric silicon carbide (SiC) membranes were prepared in this study by incorporating highly porous SiC nanofibers into the membrane structure using a sacrificial interlayer-based technique. The resulting membranes were characterized with permeation studies, nitrogen adsorption experiments, and electron microscopy analysis. Their characteristics were compared with those of SiC membranes prepared with the same approach but making use, instead, of fine, nonporous SiC powders as fillers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
