Title: Solid state proton and electron mediating membrane and use in catalytic membrane reactors

Patent ·
OSTI ID:20015729

Mixed electron- and proton-conducting metal oxide materials are provided. These materials are useful in fabrication of membranes for use in catalytic membrane reactions, particularly for promoting dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons, oligomerization of hydrocarbons and for the decomposition of hydrogen-containing gases. Membrane materials are perovskite compounds of the formula: AB{sub 1{minus}x}B{prime}{sub x}O{sub 3{minus}y} where A=Ca, Sr, or Ba; B=Ce, Tb, Pr or Th; and B{prime}=Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni or Cu.
