Niobium carbide (NbC) catalytic films were deposited on vanadium (V) foils by magnetron sputtering to prepare the NbC/V composite membranes for high temperature hydrogen separation. It is found that the sputtering power and substrate bias largely affect the structure and catalytic activity of the NbC films, and thus the hydrogen permeability of the NbC/V composite membranes. Optimized conditions for membrane preparation were obtained, which generated a pronounced high hydrogen permeability, particularly ~5.85 × 10?8 mol H2 m?1 s?1 Pa?0.5 at 650 °C. This is 1.9 times that of pure palladium (Pd). The high hydrogen permeability of the NbC/V membranes can be attributed to the high catalytic activity of the NbC films towards hydrogen dissociation, as the cubic NbC phase in the films exhibits preferential growth along the catalytically dominated crystalline plane and a relatively high percentage. This work demonstrates that the NbC/V system shows high potential as a new non-precious metal membrane for hydrogen separation and purification at high temperatures.
