Investigation of AFeO 3 (A=Ba, Sr) Perovskites for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Light Alkanes under Chemical Looping Conditions. Chempluschem 2024; 89:e202300596. [PMID: 38300225 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202300596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes to produce C2-C3 olefins is a promising alternative to conventional steam cracking. Perovskite oxides are emerging as efficient catalysts for this process due to their unique properties such as high oxygen storage capacity (OSC), reversible redox behavior, and tunability. Here, we explore AFeO3 (A=Ba, Sr) bulk perovskites for the ODH of ethane and propane under chemical looping conditions (CL-ODH). The higher OSC and oxygen mobility of SrFeO3 perovskite contributed to its higher activity but lower olefin selectivity than its Ba counterpart. However, SrFeO3 perovskite is superior in terms of cyclic stability over multiple redox cycles. Transformations of the perovskite to reduced phases including brownmillerite A2Fe2O5 were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as a cause of performance degradation, which was fully reversible upon air regeneration. A pre-desorption step was utilized to selectively tune the amount of lattice oxygen as a function of temperature and dwell time to enhance olefin selectivity while suppressing CO2 formation from the deep oxidation of propane. Overall, SrFeO3 exhibits promising potential for the CL-ODH of light alkanes, and optimization through surface and structural modifications may further engineer well-regulated lattice oxygen for maximizing olefin yield.

Abstract
Light olefins (LOs) such as ethylene and propylene are critical feedstocks for many vital chemicals that support our economy and daily life. LOs are currently mass produced via steam cracking of hydrocarbons, which is highly energy intensive and carbon polluting. Efficient, low-emission, and LO-selective conversion technologies are highly desirable. Electrochemical oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes in oxide-ion-conducting solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) reactors has been reported in recent years as a promising approach to produce LOs with high efficiency and yield while generating electricity. We report here an electrocatalyst that excels in the co-production. The efficient catalyst is NiFe alloy nanoparticles (NPs) exsolved from a Pr- and Ni-doped double perovskite Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5O6 (Pr0.8Sr1.2Ni0.2Fe1.3Mo0.5O6-δ, PSNFM) matrix during SOFC operation. We show evidence that Ni is first exsolved, which triggers the following Fe-exsolution, forming the NiFe NP alloy. At the same time as the NiFe exsolution, abundant oxygen vacancies are created at the NiFe/PSNFM interface, which promotes the oxygen mobility for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP), coking resistance, and power generation. At 750 °C, the SOFC reactor with the PSNFM catalyst reaches a propane conversion of 71.40% and LO yield of 70.91% under a current density of 0.3 A cm-2 without coking. This level of performance is unmatchable by the current thermal catalytic reactors, demonstrating the great potential of electrochemical reactors for direct hydrocarbon conversion into value-added products.

Abstract
Ceria based materials are robust candidates for a range of applications involving redox reactions and high oxygen activity. The substitution of erbium in the ceria lattice introduces extrinsic oxygen vacancies. Further addition of Co introduces electronic carriers. We have studied the structural and redox behavior of Ce1−xErxO2-δ (x = 0.1 and 0.2) and the influence of adding 2 mol% of Co in the electrochemical properties. A limitation in the solubility of Er cation is found. Diffusion and surface exchange coefficients have been obtained by electrical conductivity relaxation and the DC-conductivity and O2 permeation measurements show the importance of the electronic component in the transport properties, obtaining an oxygen permeation flux of 0.07 mL·min−1·cm−2 at 1000 °C, for a 769 μm thick membrane.

Abstract
A series of Fe2O3@LSF (La0.8Sr0.2FeO3-δ perovskite) core-shell materials (CSM) was prepared by infiltration of LSF precursors gel containing various complexants and their mixtures to nanocrystalline aggregates of hematite followed by thermal treatment. The content of LSF phase and amount of carboxyl groups in complexant determine the percent coverage of iron oxide core with the LSF shell. The most conformal coating core-shell material was prepared with citric acid as the complexant, contained 60 wt% LSF with 98% core coverage. The morphology of the CSM was studied by HRTEM-EELS combined with SEM-FIB for particles cross-sections. The reactivity of surface oxygen species and their amounts were determined by H2-TPR, TGA-DTG, the oxidation state of surface oxygen ions by XPS. It was found that at complete core coverage with perovskite shell, the distribution of surface oxygen species according to redox reactivity in CSM resemble pure LSF, but its lattice oxygen storage capacity is 2-2.5 times higher. At partial coverage, the distribution of surface oxygen species according to redox reactivity resembles that in iron oxide.

Abstract
The integration of mixed ionic–electronic conducting separation membranes in catalytic membrane reactors can yield more environmentally safe and economically efficient processes. Concentration polarization effects are observed in these types of membranes when O2 permeating fluxes are significantly high. These undesired effects can be overcome by the development of new membrane reactors where mass transport and heat transfer are enhanced by adopting state-of-the-art microfabrication. In addition, careful control over the fluid dynamics regime by employing compact metallic reactors equipped with microchannels could allow the rapid extraction of the products, minimizing undesired secondary reactions. Moreover, a high membrane surface area to catalyst volume ratio can be achieved. In this work, a compact metallic reactor was developed for the integration of mixed ionic–electronic conducting ceramic membranes. An asymmetric all-La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3–δ membrane was sealed to the metallic reactor by the reactive air brazing technique. O2 permeation was evaluated as a proof of concept, and the influence of different parameters, such as temperature, sweep gas flow rates and oxygen partial pressure in the feed gas, were evaluated.

Abstract
Dehydrogenation processes play an important role in the petrochemical industry. High selectivity towards olefins is usually hindered by numerous side reactions in a conventional cracking/pyrolysis technology. Herein, we show recent studies devoted to selective ethylene production via oxidative and non-oxidative reactions. This review summarizes the progress that has been achieved with ethane conversion in terms of the process effectivity. Briefly, steam cracking, catalytic dehydrogenation, oxidative dehydrogenation (with CO2/O2), membrane technology, and chemical looping are reviewed.

Abstract
Mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes have seen significant progress over the last 25 years as efficient ways to obtain oxygen separation from air and for their integration in chemical production systems where pure oxygen in small amounts is needed. Perovskite materials are the most employed materials for membrane preparation. However, they have poor phase stability and are prone to poisoning when subjected to CO2 and SO2, which limits their industrial application. To solve this, the so-called dual-phase membranes are attracting greater attention. In this review, recent advances on self-supported and supported oxygen membranes and factors that affect the oxygen permeation and membrane stability are presented. Possible ways for further improvements that can be pursued to increase the oxygen permeation rate are also indicated. Lastly, an overview of the most relevant examples of membrane reactors in which oxygen membranes have been integrated are provided.

Abstract
Nowadays, nitrogen is mainly produced from air by cryogenic separation, pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) and polymeric membrane technology. In this paper, we report a perovskite membrane-based nitrogen production route, which is basically driven by methane combustion. By coupling air separation with methane combustion on the opposite sides of oxygen-permeable perovskite membrane, most of oxygen in air is efficiently removed through the perovskite membrane and then consumed by methane oxidation. A nitrogen production rate of ca. 23 cm3 min−1 with purity of 98–99% was successfully achieved, and remained stable over 120 h, with a methane conversion of 71–73% on the other side of perovskite membrane. This work demonstrates that the joint use of oxygen-permeable perovskite membrane and methane oxidation is a promising strategy for nitrogen production and inspires more research efforts in the field of gas separation.

Abstract
CO2 resistance is an enabling property for the wide-scale implementation of oxygen-selective mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes in clean energy technologies, i.e., oxyfuel combustion, clean coal energy delivery, and catalytic membrane reactors for greener chemical synthesis. The significant rise in the number of studies over the past decade and the major progress in CO2-resistant MIEC materials warrant systematic guidelines on this topic. To this end, this review features the pertaining aspects in addition to the recent status and advances of the two most promising membrane materials, perovskite and fluorite-based dual-phase materials. We explain how to quantify and design CO2 resistant membranes using the Lewis acid-base reaction concept and thermodynamics perspective and highlight the relevant characterization techniques. For perovskite materials, a trade-off generally exists between CO2 resistance and O2 permeability. Fluorite materials, despite their inherent CO2 resistance, typically have low O2 permeability but this can be improved via different approaches including thin film technology and the recently developed minimum internal electronic short-circuit second phase and external electronic short-circuit decoration. We then elaborate the two main future directions that are centralized around the development of new oxide compositions capable of featuring simultaneously high CO2 resistance and O2 permeability and the exploitation of phase reactions to create a new conductive phase along the grain boundaries of dual-phase materials. The final part of the review discusses various complimentary characterization techniques and the relevant studies that can provide insights into the degradation mechanism of oxide-based materials upon exposure to CO2.

Abstract
The straightforward solid-state grinding of a mixture of Ni nitrate and Nb oxalate crystals led to, after mild calcination (T<400 °C), nanostructured Ni-Nb oxide composites. These new materials efficiently catalyzed the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethane to ethylene at a relatively low temperature (T<300 °C). These catalysts appear to be much more stable than the corresponding composites prepared by other chemical methods; more than 90 % of their original intrinsic activity was retained after 50 h with time on-stream. Furthermore, the stability was much less affected by the Nb content than in composites prepared by classical "wet" syntheses. These materials, obtained in a solvent-free way, are thus promising green and sustainable alternatives to the current Ni-Nb candidates for the low-temperature ODH of ethane.
