An A- and B-Site Substitutional Study of SrFeO3–δ Perovskites for Solar Thermochemical Air Separation
Abstract
An A- and B-site substitutional study of SrFeO3–δ perovskites (A’xA1–xB’yB1–yO3–δ, where A = Sr and B = Fe) was performed for a two-step solar thermochemical air separation cycle. The cycle steps encompass (1) the thermal reduction of A’xSr1–xB’yFe1–yO3–δ driven by concentrated solar irradiation and (2) the oxidation of A’xSr1–xB’yFe1–yO3–δ in air to remove O2, leaving N2. The oxidized A’xSr1–xB’yFe1–yO3–δ is recycled back to the first step to complete the cycle, resulting in the separation of N2 from air and concentrated solar irradiation. A-site substitution fractions between 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2 were examined for A’ = Ba, Ca, and La. B-site substitution fractions between 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.2 were examined for B’ = Cr, Cu, Co, and Mn. Samples were prepared with a modified Pechini method and characterized with X-ray diffractometry. The mass changes and deviations from stoichiometry were evaluated with thermogravimetry in three screenings with temperature- and O2 pressure-swings between 573 and 1473 K and 20% O2/Ar and 100% Ar at 1 bar, respectively. A’ = Ba or La and B’ = Co resulted in the most improved redox capacities amongst temperature- and O2 pressure-swing experiments.
