  • Hydrogen isotope separation methods and systems
    Patent number: 11433353
    Abstract: Methods and systems for the separation of hydrogen isotopes from one another are described. Methods include utilization of a hydrogen isotope selective separation membrane that includes a hydrogen isotope selective layer (e.g., graphene) and a hydrogen ion conductive supporting layer. An electronic driving force encourages passage of isotopes selectively across the membrane at an elevated separation temperature to enrich the product in a selected hydrogen isotope.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2022
    Assignees: Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, Clemson University Research Foundation, Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Dale A. Hitchcock, Steven M. Serkiz, Timothy M. Krentz, Josef A. Velten, Kyle S. Brinkman, Eric M. Vogel, Katherine T. Young
