Abstract

Reasonably high oxygen permeation fluxes, ∼4 × 10-2 μmol.cm-2.s-1, were obtained from surface decoration with La0.8Sr0.2CoO3-δ (LSC113) or LaSrCoO4±δ (LSC214) on La0.8Sr 0.2Ga0.8Mg0.115Co0.085O 3-δ (LSGMC) and Ce0.8Sm0.2O 2-δ (SDC) membranes at 700°C. Promoting surface exchange kinetics at the feed side of LSGMC and SDC membranes, which was found rate-limiting, is needed to further enhance oxygen permeation of these membranes. This work demonstrates the possibility of reducing the amount of noble metal usage for membranes based on the concept of short-circuited ion conductors and shows promise for the development of noble-metal-free permeation membranes.
