A typical perovskite La{sub 0.2}Sr{sub 0.8}Co{sub 0.2}Fe{sub 0.8}O{sub 3{minus}{delta}} (LSCF) membrane and a novel perovskite-related ZrO{sub 2}-doped SrCo{sub 0.4}Fe{sub 0.6}O{sub 3{minus}{delta}} (SCFZ) membrane were successfully prepared. The sintered membranes were characterized by an in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Oxygen permeabilities of the two dense membranes were measured in the temperature range of 923 to 1,173 K under a fixed oxygen partial pressure gradient. The results of the oxygen permeation experiment and high-temperature X-ray diffraction in argon atmosphere indicate that the perovskite-related SCFZ membrane has higher oxygen fluxes and is more stable than that of the LSCF membrane at elevated temperatures and reduced oxygen partial pressures.
