Abstract: A hydrogen permeation membrane having excellent hydrogen permeability and hydrogen embrittlement resistance, and a production method thereof. This membrane is made of a niobium alloy foil having an amorphous crystal structure, the niobium alloy foil comprising 5 to 65 atomic % of at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co and Mo as a first additive element and 0.1 to 60 atomic % of at least one member selected from the group consisting of V, Ti, Zr, Ta and Hf as a second additive element together with the balance of Nb as an indispensable constituent element wherein 0.01 to 20 atomic % of Al and/or Cu may be contained as a third additive element. This alloy foil can be produced through a method comprising preparing a metal mixture of the above formulation, heating the metal mixture to the melting point or higher in an inert gas so as to melt the same and forming the melt into a film (foil) according to a liquid quenching technique.
