Abstract: In the design of a liquid lithium-lead blanket in fusion reactor, a layer that has high permeation reduction factor should be prepared on the surface of the structural materials as tritium permeation barrier(TPB). TPBs could not only reduce hydrogen isotope permeability for the safety concern of the tritium, but also have great corrosion resistance to maintain the structural integrity and the stability of thermodynamic property of structural materials. TPB that directly contacts with liquid metals will be corroded, resulting in defects(such as corrosion pits, etc.) which straightly affect its service life. In this paper, the compatibility of liquid lithium-lead with TPB, together with the hydrogen isotope permeation resistance property of the barrier before and after corrosion was reviewed. It has shown in previous studies that Cr2O3-Er2O3-ZrO2 multilayer and aluminum-based coating are utilized as TPBs indicating promising compatibility and tritium resistance property under static liquid lithium-lead environment. The main existing problems and research tendency were also presented in this paper. A large number of comprehensive and systematic studies are needed in related fields to provide data support for the evaluation of the service life of TPBs for future fusion breeder blanket.
