Nuclear power plants use or produce hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is used in heavy water moderated fission reactors, usually as liquid D2O, to slow neutrons without high neutron absorption of ordinary hydrogen. This is a common commercial use for
Read more →Suppliers of high purity hydrogen generally provide a certificate of analysis (CoA) with each shipment. A CoA will typically call out several impurities, eg. O2, H2O, N2, CO, CO2, CH4 , etc . As most analytical instruments can only detect

Read more →Similar to other thin-film manufacturing processes, pure hydrogen is used in combination with silane and with dopant gases in the production of thin-film-transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) panels. Consistent control of impurities is required to ensure the high yields
Read more →Hydrogen features in a number of sensitive semiconductor processes where the control of impurities into the sub part-per-billion (ppb) range has a critical impact on device function or yield. Power+Energy suggest using HEMS™ instruments to verify hydrogen purity prior to
Read more →Hydrogen is used in combination with silane to produce amorphous and micro-crystaline silicon layers during the thin film silicon photovoltaic manufacturing process. The electrical output of the resulting solar cell, its efficiency and its lifetime are all affected by the
