Abstract

A hydrogen separator has a porous substrate having a through-hole, and a metal having a hydrogen separating ability coated on the inner surface of the through-hole of the porous substrate to close pores on the inner surface of the through-hole. A method for manufacturing a hydrogen separator by a chemical plating process, includes providing a porous substrate having a through-hole, and forcedly circulating a plating solution containing a metal having a hydrogen separating ability through the through-hole of the substrate. The inner surface of the through-hole is covered with the metal film having the hydrogen separating ability.
