Abstract
A low-cost getter material comprising palladium and manganese oxide and methods of making the same. A tank including said getter material, and a method of removing hydrogen gas.
Claims25
A tank configured to contain cryogenic fluid, comprising:
- a. an outer tank wall;
- b. an inner tank wall;
- c. a vacuum space defined between the outer tank wall and the inner tank wall;
- and
- d. a getter material in the vacuum space, the getter material comprising palladium and manganese oxide.

A getter material, comprising:
- palladium and manganese oxide.
A method of removing hydrogen gas from a vacuum space between walls of a tank, the method comprising:
- a. placing a getter material in a space between an outer wall and an inner wall of a tank, the getter material comprising palladium and manganese oxide;
- b. creating a vacuum in the space;
- and
- c. absorbing hydrogen gas with the getter material.
1 more element
A method of making a getter material, the method comprising:
- a. mixing a solution of palladium chloride and a solution of manganese nitrate to form a mixture;
- b. adding a sodium bicarbonate solution to the mixture, resulting in the precipitation of manganese carbonate;
- c. adding hydrogen peroxide to the mixture;
- d. heating the mixture, resulting in the production of a product;
- e. filtering the resulting product from the mixture;
- f. drying the resulting product;
- g. heating the resulting product, thereby producing a getter material comprising palladium and manganese oxide.
