Popis: The phase inversion procedure was used to prepare Al2O3 ceramic hollow fiber substrates (AlCHFS) utilizing the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) aprotic solvents. Different aprotic solvent and non-solvent (water) interactions were used to calibrate different ceramic oxide substrates. AlCHFS with an asymmetrical structure consisting of a finger-like structure on the lumen side and a pore structure on the shell side was obtained using an aprotic solvent/non-solvent pair with a high total Hildebrand solubility (δt). As the aprotic strength was reduced, the finger-like structure on the shell sides became more prominent. Hydrogen permeation studies conducted between 350°C and 450°C reveal that the Pd-coated AlCHFS produced from DMAC aprotic solvent has the maximum hydrogen flux (~0.24 mol m−2 s−1). The activation energy for the thermally activated hydrogen transport process through the Pd-coated AlCHFSs is determined to be around 11.06–14.61 kJ mol−1 in the temperature range of 350°C to 450°C, and it increases linearly with increasing surface porosity of ceramic oxide substrate.
