Using oxygen permeable membranes (OPMs) to upgrade low-purity hydrogen is a promising concept for highpurity H 2 production. At high temperatures, water dissociates into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen permeates through OPM and oxidizes hydrogen in a waste stream on the other side of the membrane. Pure hydrogen can be obtained on the water-splitting side after condensation. However, the existing Co-and Fe-based OPMs are chemically instable as a result of the over-reduction of Co and Fe ions under reducing atmospheres. Herein, a dual-phase membrane Ce 0.9 Pr 0.1 O 2Àd-Pr 0.1 Sr 0.9 Mg 0.1 Ti 0.9 O 3Àd (CPO-PSM-Ti) with excellent chemical stability and mixed oxygen ionic-electronic conductivity under reducing atmospheres was developed for H 2 purification. An acceptable H 2 production rate of 0.52 mL min À1 cm À2 is achieved at 940 8C. No obvious degradation during 180 h of operation indicates the robust stability of CPO-PSM-Ti membrane. The proven mixed conductivity and excellent stability of CPO-PSM-Ti give prospective advantages over existing OPMs for upgrading low-purity hydrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
