Perovskite Membranes: Advancements and Challenges in Gas Separation, Production, and Capture

Perovskite membranes have gained considerable attention in gas separation and production due to their unique properties such as high selectivity and permeability towards various gases. These membranes are composed of perovskite oxides, which have a crystalline structure that can be tailored to enhance gas separation performance. In oxygen enrichment, perovskite membranes are employed to separate oxygen from air, which is then utilized in a variety of applications such as combustion and medical devices. Moreover, perovskite membranes are investigated for carbon capture applications to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Further, perovskite membranes are employed in hydrogen production, where they aid in the separation of hydrogen from other gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. This process is essential in the production of clean hydrogen fuel for various applications such as fuel cells and transportation. This paper provides a review on the utilization and role of perovskite membranes in various gas applications, including oxygen enrichment, carbon capture, and hydrogen production.
