Abstract
Dual-phase ceramic membranes with very high oxygen flux have been designed by taking into account the volume fraction of the fluorite phase, membrane thickness, and surface modification. The oxygen flux of Ce0.9Gd0.1O2−δ–La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ (GDC–LSCF) dual-phase membranes has been systematically investigated as a function of membrane thickness and volume fraction of the fluorite phase with or without surface modification. The percolation threshold of the composites for electronic conduction has been determined to be about 20 vol % of LSCF by general effective-medium theory. The oxygen flux of uncoated fluorite phase-rich membrane (80 vol % GDC–20 vol % LSCF) with 30-μm thickness exhibits a low oxygen flux (8.0 × 10–3 mL·cm–2·min–1 at 850 °C) under an air/He gradient, indicating that the permeation is controlled by only the surface-exchange kinetics of GDC. With both sides coated with La0.6Sr0.4CoO3−δ (LSC), the flux of the membrane (3.6 mL·cm–2·min–1 at 850 °C) has been dramatically enhanced by about...
