The influence of 3-methyl-2,6-diphenyl piperidin-4-one (MDPO) and 2phenyl decahydroquinoline-4-one (PDQO) synthesised in the laboratory on hydrogen permeation and corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1N H2SO4 has been studied using weight loss and various electrochemical AC and DC corrosion-monitoring techniques. Both the compounds inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in H2SO4. Potentiodynamic ...

Microporous hydroxy-sodalite zeolite membranes with different morphologies were synthesized via secondary growth technique with vacuum seeding on tubular α-Al2O3 supports at two different synthesis conditions (i.e. two different routes). Microstructures of the synthesized membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and si...

High-purity hydrogen continues to receive attention as a promising energy source for fuel cells in portable power applications. On-demand hydrogen generation via fuel reforming offers a convenient alternative to hydrogen storage, but the concomitant CO generation is deleterious to the fuel cell catalyst. Of the possible hydrogen purification options, palladium membranes allow a compact design s...

The electrochemical measurement of the permeation r·ate of hydrogen through metal foils consists of charging of the metal with hydrogen on one side of the foil and removal of hydrogen by electrochemical oxidation on the other side. The hydrogen diffusion coefficient can be determined by mathematical analysis of the time dependence of the oxidation current. This electrochemical technique can als...

Hydrogen barrier coatings are protective layers consisting of materials with a low intrinsic hydrogen diffusivity and solubility, showing the potential to delay, reduce or hinder permeation. expected enable steels, which susceptible embrittlement, specifically cost-effective alloy-steels light-weight high-strength for applications in economy. Predominantly, ceramic coating have been investigate...
