Abstract

Palladium (Pd) membranes have been prepared by the electroless plating (ELP) method using hydrazine monohydrate (N2H4·H2O) as a reducing agent onto tubular porous alumina (α-Al2O3) supports. In this work, four Pd/α-Al2O3 membranes (M1‒M4) were fabricated under different plating repetitions. Electroless plating was carried out at 50 ℃ for 90 minutes each time. This study aims to investigate the morphology of membranes of different thicknesses. The membrane turned into characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy images display that the synthesized thicknesses are from 10.25 to 22.53 µm. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) reveals a relation between the roughness and the thickness, and the roughness increases as the thickness increases. X-ray diffraction studies imply that the synthesized M1 has a face-centered cubic phase (FCC), with an average crystallites size of 12.35 nm for M1 while 12.62 nm, 18.67 nm and 26.12 nm for M2, M3 and M4, respectively.
