Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ceramic membranes, as highly efficient separation materials, are attracting increasing attention in the scientific and industrial communities, owing to their advantageous properties over polymeric counterparts, such as superior chemical/thermal stability, high mechanical strength, long lifetime, and tolerance to sterilization. The development and applications of ceramic membranes have led to significant progress in recent decades, as reflected by the great increase of published researc and rapidly expanding industrial applications. Ceramic membranes are playing an important role in sustainable environment and energy applications, including wastewater and drinking water treatment, gas separation, organic solvent separation, solid-state cells/batteries, chemical membrane reactors, carbon capture and conversion, pharmaceutical production, as well as beverage and beer production. 

This Special Issue on “Development and Applications of Ceramic Membranes” aims to collect original high-quality articles that explore the full potential of ceramic membranes for a wide variety of applications related to sustainable environment and energy. The research areas include (but are not limited to) the following: novel materials development, structural design and optimization, low-cost/energy-saving fabrication technology, surface and interface engineering, transport and separation mechanisms, membrane fouling mitigation, process modeling and simulation, new energy and environment applications, as well as typical industrial applications.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research results. Both original research articles and reviews with new insights are welcome.

We are looking forward to your contributions.

An experimental setup for the evaluation of permeation of gaseous species with the possibility of simultaneously collecting electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data in disk-shaped ceramic membranes was designed and assembled. It consists of an alumina sample holder with thermocouple tips and platinum electrodes located close to both sides of the sample. Water-cooled inlet and outlet gas connections allowed for the insertion of the sample chamber into a programmable split tubular furnace. Gas permeation through a ceramic membrane can be monitored with mass flow controllers, a mass spectrometer, and an electrochemical impedance analyzer. For testing and data validation, ceramic composite membranes were prepared with the infiltration of molten eutectic compositions of alkali salts (lithium, sodium, and potassium carbonates) into porous gadolinia-doped ceria. Values of the alkali salt melting points and the permeation rates of carbon dioxide, in agreement with reported data, were successfully collected. Full article

Oxidative coupling of methane can produce various valuable products, such as ethane and ethylene, and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) can electrolyze CH4 to produce C2H4 and C2H6. In this work, Sr2Fe1.575Mo0.5O6-δ electrode materials were prepared by impregnation and in situ precipitation, and Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6-δ was taken as a reference to study the role of metal–oxide interfaces in the catalytic process. When the Fe/Sr2Fe1.575Mo0.5O6-δ interface is well constructed, the selectivity for C2 can reach 78.18% at 850 °C with a potential of 1.2 V, and the conversion rate of CH4 is 11.61%. These results further prove that a well-constructed metal–oxide interface significantly improves the catalytic activity and facilitates the reaction. Full article
