Ionic electronic conductors (MIEC) are potential candidates
for various applications including oxygen transport
membranes (OTM) due to their high efficiency and infinite
selectivity towards oxygen at elevated temperatures [1].
Possible applications for OTM are supply of highly pure
oxygen or membrane reactors, in which the separated oxygen
is directly utilized to form valuable products such as
synthetic fuels or bulk chemicals. OTM transport oxygen ions
by solid state diffusion through oxygen vacancies, which
cannot be occupied by other ions. However, the transport is
based on lattice defects and, thus, high-performance OTM
materials mainly perovskites (with high defect density and
mobility) suffer from limited stability in application
conditions with potentially reducing and/or acidic gas
atmospheres (requiring low defect density and mobility). One
approach to face the trade-off between chemical stability
and oxygen flux performance are dual phase composites. In
such cer-cer composites two phases are coupled to provide
pure electronic and ionic conducting pathway, respectively.
In this work, composites of 20 $mol\%$ Gadolinia doped ceria
(GDC) as ionic conductor and FeCo2O4 spinel (FCO) as
electronic conductor are investigated [2]. GDC-FCO ratio is
varied proving that spinel content as low as 10 $wt-\%$ is
sufficient to ensure oxygen permeability, although well
below the percolation threshold. In addition, the influence
of the powder synthesis route on microstructure and
corresponding oxygen permeation properties is investigated
and compared to state-of-the-art single phase material, i.e.
La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ (LSCF). In order to increase
oxygen flux further, by microstructural optimization of the
membrane layout, asymmetric membranes were manufactured by
sequential tape casting. Such membranes consist of a thin
(~15 µm), dense membrane layer and a porous support
porosity (>40 $\%)$ for mechanical stability. An important
issue in tape casting is the used raw materials. In order to
realize cost efficient manufacturing, a reactive sintering
of the membranes was developed, using commercially available
CGO, Fe- and Co-oxides as raw material. Oxygen flux in such
membranes is clearly limited by surface exchange, due to the
low electrochemically active triple phase boundary length,
at which oxygen exchange takes place. The performances of
bulk and asymmetric membranes are analysed and the potential
of this type of materials is discussed with regard to
microstructural optimization.References1. J. Sunarso, et.
