Cobalt-free perovskite-type oxides Ba Fe1-yTayO3-δ(0 ≤ y ≤ 0.2)were synthesized via a simple solid state reaction.The cubic perovskite structure can be obtained when y is over 0.1.Ba Fe0.9Ta0.1O3-δ(BFT0.1)membrane shows the highest oxygen permeation flux,which can reach 1.6 ml·min-1·cm-2at 950 °C under the gradient of air/He.The O2-TPD results reveal that Ba Fe0.9Ta0.1O3-δmaterial shows an excellent reversibility and phase structure stability in air.The oxygen permeation flux is limited by the bulk diffusion when the membrane thickness is over 0.8 mm,and it is limited by both the bulk diffusion and the surface exchange when the membrane thickness is below 0.5 mm.Stable oxygen permeation fluxes are obtained during 180 h operation.
