Abstract
Tonnage oxygen production is still mostly based on the traditional technology of cryogenic distillation, a century-old, capital- and energy-intensive method. It is critical to create a novel low-cost, energy-efficient approach that can meet the growing demand for oxygen in industry from the clean environmental or energy standpoint. Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskite like oxides -based ionic transport membranes for the oxygen transport have recently been developed as a possible replacement for the traditional cryogenic approach. In this work, we detailly reviewed the progress of RP perovskite oxides based membranes for oxygen transport from separation mechanism, material types, synthesis methods to the final separation performance. This work advances the development of RP perovskite membranes for oxygen transport.
