Abstract

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) threatens the structural integrity of industrial components exposed to hydrogen-rich environments. This review critically explores hydrogen barrier coatings (HBCs), polymeric, metallic, ceramic, and composite, their application and assessment, focusing on measured effectiveness in limiting hydrogen permeation and hydrogen embrittlement. Also, coating application methods and permeation assessment techniques are evaluated. Recent advances in nanostructured and hybrid coatings are emphasized, highlighting the pressing need for durable, scalable, and environmentally sustainable hydrogen barrier coatings to ensure the reliability of emerging hydrogen-based energy solutions. This comprehensive critical review further distinguishes itself by linking coating deposition methods to defect-driven transport behaviour, critically assessing permeation test approaches. It also highlights the emerging role of polymeric and hybrid multilayer coatings with direct implications for advanced and reliable hydrogen production, storage, and transport infrastructure.

氢屏障涂层：应用与评价

氢脆（HE）威胁着工业部件暴露在富氢环境中的结构完整性。本文综述了氢障涂层（hbc），聚合物，金属，陶瓷和复合材料，它们的应用和评估，重点是限制氢渗透和氢脆的测量效果。并对涂层的应用方法和渗透评价技术进行了评价。强调了纳米结构和混合涂层的最新进展，强调了对耐用、可扩展和环境可持续的氢屏障涂层的迫切需求，以确保新兴氢基能源解决方案的可靠性。这篇全面的批判性综述通过将涂层沉积方法与缺陷驱动的输运行为联系起来，批判性地评估渗透测试方法，进一步使自己与众不同。它还强调了聚合物和混合多层涂料的新兴作用，对先进可靠的氢气生产、储存和运输基础设施具有直接影响。

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
