Fabrication and Characterization of MIEC Membranes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mixed Conducting Ceramic Membranes

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

Preparation method has a significant influence on the performance of MIEC membranes, because the membranes derived from different methods have different microstructures, defects, impurities, etc. In this chapter, the experimental methods related to the MIEC membranes are introduced, including the methods for the synthesis of ceramic powders, for the fabrication of MIEC membranes, and for the performance testing and characterization. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods for preparing ceramic powders and fabricating MIEC membranes are shown in this chapter to facilitate selecting proper methods in experiments.
