Abstract
A group of B-site partially substituted strontium cobaltites Sr0.9Ca0.1Co0.9B'0.1O2.5+δ (B'=Mn, Co, Ni, In, Fe and Al) were examined for phase transformation and oxygen permeation properties. As revealed by XRD analysis, these oxides had 2H-BaNiO3-type structure (B'=Mn, Co, Ni and In) or brownmillerite-type structure (B'=Fe and Al) and transformed into perovskite-type structure at elevated temperatures (750 °C or above). The transformation temperature was dependent on the B-site substituent and agreed well with the switching-on temperature of oxygen permeation for the same oxide. Due to a lowering in transformation temperature, the Fe- or Al-doped oxide was made oxygen permeable in the lower temperature range 750–850 °C where the undoped oxide remained non-permeable. It was also found that for a series of Fe-partially substituted samples Sr0.9Ca0.1Co1−xFexO2.5+δ the transformation temperature lowered with increasing x up to 0.1, while, for x≥0.2, perovskite-type structure tended to be stabilized at room temperature. TGDTA analysis revealed that phase transformation was accompanied by absorption or desorption of oxygen. Based on the correlation between the oxygen permeability and the membrane thickness, the rate-determining step of oxygen permeation in the present system was assumed to be of the bulk diffusion of oxide ion vacancies.
