Abstract:
Metallic sealants are widely used with high-temperature membranes. Here we show that their use in supported molten-salt membranes results in order-of-magnitude differences in CO2 flux and introduces O2 co-permeation. The 'short-circuiting' effect they introduce has important implications for the design of future experiments, and the interpretation of past work.
