ABSTRACT:
A scheme using oxygen and hydrogen permeable membranes to thermally dissociate water into hydrogen and oxygen in order to provide for the storage and transportation of thermal energy is described and analyzed in terms of presently available materials. While the process is potentially very

efficient, the membranes required to separate the hydrogen and oxygen are not stable at sufficiently high temperatures. It is concluded that a high temperature hydrogen permeable membrane must be discovered before further work is warranted. The rare earth-palladium compounds may have the desired characteristics.
