Abstract

The increased requirement of a clean and efficient green energy source promotes the development of hydrogen-based economy. In order to lower the cost of manufacturing, the future development of the next generation of hydrogen separation membrane is necessary. This chapter summarized the hydrogen separation membrane technology, the membrane separation mechanism, the polymer material selection and membrane structure design, current industrial market and separation modules, as well as the future development of the next generation hydrogen separation membrane.
