A-site deficient (Pr 0.9 La 0.1 ) 1.9 Ni 0.74 Cu 0.21 Ga 0.05 O 4+d ((PL) 1.9 NCG), with the K 2 NiF 4 structure, is found to exhibit higher oxygen transport rates compared with its cation-stoichiometric parent phase. A stable oxygen permeation flux of 4.6 Â 10 À7 mol cm À2 s À1 at 900 C at a membrane thickness of 0.6 mm is measured, using either helium or pure CO 2 as sweep gas at a flow rate of 30 mL min À1 . The oxygen flux is more than two times higher than that observed through A-site stoichiometric (PL) 2.0 NCG membranes operated under similar conditions. The high oxygen transport rates found for (PL) 1.9 NCG are attributed to highly mobile oxygen vacancies, compensating A-site deficiency. The high stability against carbonation gives (PL) 1.9 NCG potential for use, e.g., as a membrane in oxy-fuel combustion processes with CO 2 capture.
