Abstract

Hydrogen production using oxygen transport membrane reactors has attracted widespread attention. However, the structural stability of membrane materials under harsh reducing atmospheres is still a significant challenge. Gadolinium doped cerium oxide (CGO) presents high ionic conductivity and good reducing resistance but is limited by its poor electronic conductivity. Herein, a 2 mol.% cobalt-doped Ce_0.8Gd_0.2O_2-δ (CoCGO) ultrathin membrane was manufactured by thin-film technology and applied to hydrogen production from water splitting (WS) with simultaneous syngas production through partial oxidation of methane (POM). Two catalysts, La_0.4Sr_0.6CoO_3-δ (LSC) and Ni/Al₂O₃, were utilized for promoting WS and POM, respectively. Hydrogen production rate above 1.8 mL min^-1 cm^-2 and methane conversion of around 80 % were achieved, and no noticeable degradation was detected during 100 h operation, suggesting its prospective stability advantages as a membrane reactor for hydrogen production from water.
