  2020-03-15: Progress on the effect of grain size on oxygen transport kinetics
We studied the cobalt-free BaCe0.1Fe0.9O3-δ membranes with different grain sizes by our theoretical model to disclose the influence of grain size on oxygen transport kinetics. Model studies reveal that interfacial oxygen exchange resistances on both sides increase with the increase of grain size, while the bulk diffusion resistance changes slightly. It indicates that grain boundaries are active sites for oxygen exchange reactions and have little effect on the bulk diffusion. This work has been published in Journal of Membrane Science, 2020, 603, 118038.

  2020-01-01: Progress on kinetic model for oxygen permeation process
Kinetic model is significant for disclosing the oxygen permeation process through mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes. Based on the dependence of oxygen vacancy concentration on oxygen partial pressure in the bulk of MIEC membrane, we established a universally applicable model for extensive MIEC membranes by revising one assumption in our original model. The extended model can be applied to various MIEC materials. This work has been published in Chemical Engineering Science, 2020, 215 115455.
