“…4,5 Studies concerning hydrogen-barrier films have been conducted in a variety of fields such as nuclear fusion reactors, fuel cells, H 2 S corrosion components, or vacuum equipment. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Dense ceramic films such as Al 2 O 3 , TiC, TiN, and BN have been reported to provide superior hydrogenbarrier performance. A diverse range of methods have been used to form these films, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, or plasma-spray, and it is possible to reduce hydrogen permeation by creating a few folds in ceramic films with thickness of a few micrometers.…”
