Popis: Using oxygen permeable membranes (OPMs) to upgrade low-purity hydrogen is a promising concept for high-purity H2 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 Ce0.9Pr0.1O2−δ-Pr0.1Sr0.9Mg0.1Ti0.9O3−δ (CPO-PSM-Ti) with excellent chemical stability and mixed oxygen ionic-electronic conductivity under reducing atmospheres was developed for H2 purification. An acceptable H2 production rate of 0.52 mL min−1 cm−2 is achieved at 940 °C. 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. © 2020 The Authors.
