Theses and Dissertations

The deteriorating climate is threatening our living habitat and arousing public awareness. To achieve the carbon neutral goal by the middle of 21st century, developing novel technologies to reduce CO₂ emission or promote its capture become urgent. Among them, oxygen permeation membrane (OPM) and solid oxide cell (SOC) are two promising devices for clean energy conversion.

In chapter 1, the background of OPM and SOC are briefly introduced. Fundamental mechanism and application of phase inversion, the key process involved in fabrication of hollow fiber OPM and microtubular SOC are emphatically described. Mixed ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) perovskites demonstrate …
