An experimental exploration of the transport rate of hydrogen through amorphous Al2O3 layers is presented. Significant changes in the transport rate were observed when changing the thickness of the oxide from 1 to 3 nm. By coating the oxide with a catalytically active Pd layer, a fast dissociation of hydrogen is allowed, enabling a separation between the limitation imposed by dissociation and the transport through the oxide.
