Testing a Sandwiched Liquid-Metal Membrane at WPI

Caption

Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) tested a prototype sandwiched liquid-metal membrane with this laboratory set-up. The membrane, a thin layer of gallium sandwiched between porous ceramic supports, selectively separated hydrogen from a mixed-gas stream more efficiently than a comparable palladium membrane.
