[EN] Hydrogen permeation membranes are a key element in improving the energy conversion efficiency and decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation. The scientific community faces the challenge of identifying and optimizing stable and effective ceramic materials for H-2 separation membranes at elevated temperature (400-800 degrees C) for industrial separations and intensified catalytic reactors. As such, composite materials with nominal composition BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-delta:Ce0.8Y0.2O2-delta revealed unprecedented H-2 permeation levels of 0.4 to 0.61 mL center dot min(-1)center dot cm(-2) at 700 degrees C measured on 500 mu m-thick-specimen. A detailed structural and phase study revealed single phase perovskite and fluorite starting materials synthesized via the conventional ceramic route. Strong tendency of Eu to migrate from the perovskite to the fluorite phase was observed at sintering temperature, leading to significant Eu depletion of the proton conducing BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-delta phase. Composite microstructure was examined prior and after a variety of functional tests, including electrical conductivity, H-2-permeation and stability in CO2 containing atmospheres at elevated temperatures, revealing stable material without morphological and structural changes, with segregation-free interfaces and no further diffusive effects between the constituting phases. In this context, dual phase material based on BaCe0.8Eu0.2O3-delta:Ce0.8Y0.2O2-delta represents a very promising candidate for H-2 separating membrane in energy-and environmentally-related applications ; This work has been conducted with the financial support by the Helmholtz Association under the Research Programme Energy Efficiency, Materials and Resources.
