Gas separation by metallic membranes is a promising route to overcome some of the well-known difficulties of conventional polymer-membranes e.g. the low selectivity regarding to oxygen/nitrogen. For the economic employment of such a metallic membrane it is crucial to optimize the flux through the membrane without losing the high selectivity and also retaining a sufficiently high mechanical stability. To achieve this very thin metal films acting as separation layers are deposited onto porous substrates. The present work deals with the preparation of thin silver films supported by porous alumina substrates and especially focuses on the correlation between varying deposition parameters, microstructure (grain size, orientation of crystallites) and gas permeability at room temperature. Characterization methods are SEM, XRD, AFM and a modified leak test.
