Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a metal foil (niobium alloy foil) and a production method of the metal foil, the metal foil can be used as a hydrogen permeable membrane for a hydrogen refining unit, and the hydrogen refining unit is used for fuel Batteries and for fields related to semiconductors. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, as a measure against global warming, practical application of a hydrogen refining unit and a fuel cell utilizing the hydrogen refining unit, and their distribution have been required. Such a hydrogen refining unit has first and second chambers, wherein the first chamber is separated from the second chamber by a membrane. Thus, when a gas containing hydrogen flows into the first chamber, the membrane acts to collect the hydrogen-rich gas in the second chamber while retaining the gas containing impurities such as CO and CO in the first chamber. 2 ) gas in this way is essentially permeable to hydrogen. For this reason, ...
