Abstract
Perovskite membranes have gained considerable attention in gas separation and production due to their unique properties such as high selectivity and permeability towards various gases. These membranes are composed of perovskite oxides, which have a crystalline structure that can be tailored to enhance gas separation performance. In oxygen enrichment, perovskite membranes are employed to separate oxygen from air, which is then utilized in a variety of applications such as combustion and medical devices. Moreover, perovskite membranes are investigated for carbon capture applications to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Further, perovskite membranes are employed in hydrogen production, where they aid in the separation of hydrogen from other gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. This process is essential in the production of clean hydrogen fuel for various applications such as fuel cells and transportation. This paper provides a review on the utilization and role of perovskite membranes in various gas applications, including oxygen enrichment, carbon capture, and hydrogen production.

Abstract
Ion-conducting ceramic membranes, such as mixed oxygen ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes and mixed proton-electron conducting (MPEC) membranes, have the potential for absolute selectivity for specific gases at high temperatures. By utilizing these membranes in membrane reactors, it is possible to combine reaction and separation processes into one unit, leading to a reduction in by-product formation and enabling the use of thermal effects to achieve efficient and sustainable chemical production. As a result, membrane reactors show great promise in the production of various chemicals and fuels. This paper provides an overview of recent developments in dense ceramic catalytic membrane reactors and their potential for chemical production. This review covers different types of membrane reactors and their principles, advantages, disadvantages, and key issues. The paper also discusses the configuration and design of catalytic membrane reactors. Finally, the paper offers insights into the challenges of scaling up membrane reactors from experimental stages to practical applications.

Abstract
Oxygen permeable membrane, which has the advantages of high separation selectivity, low energy consumption and simple process in oxygen separation, can be used in the fields of environment and energy, such as pure oxygen preparation, fuel cell, oxygen-enriched combustion and chemical reactor for methane catalytic conversion (e.g. partial oxidation of methane, carbon dioxide reforming with methane). New materials and technological development are needed to achieve this target for GHG reformation. In this direction, mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) oxides based on perovskite oxides are one of the prominent materials for oxygen transport at high temperatures. These compounds were created into solid ceramic membranes with considerable electronic and oxygen ionic conductivity. As a result of the differential partial pressure of oxygen across the membrane, this process enables the ionic transfer of oxygen from the air, providing the driving force for oxygen ion transport. Notably, over the last 40 years, the defect theory has been applied to a wide range of MIEC materials, providing insight into electronic and ionic transport, widely applied to designing catalysts for wastewater treatment and gas purification. However, a critical review by in-depth analysis from the material side on perovskite oxides for oxygen transport is needed. This work evaluates the research community's significant and relevant contributions in the perovskite oxides for gas separation domain over the previous four decades in conjunction with theoretical concepts, which would give rise to the fundamental understanding of the impact of various transitional metal elements on oxygen transport performance and stability in a different atmosphere.

Abstract
KBiFe2O5 (KBFO) is an upcoming promising brownmillerite-structured multiferroic photoactive material for next-generation photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications. In the present work, KBFO has been developed using multistep thermal treatment method to reduce the volatility of constituent elements and improve the stability of compound. The band gap of KBFO (found to be ∼1.68 eV) extends to the near-infrared region compared to traditional perovskite-structured multiferroics. The magnetic and dielectric transitions occur in the same temperature range (740 K-800 K), reflecting the existence of magneto-dielectric effect in the as-synthesized sample. It also shows promising photocatalytic activity by degrading organic effluents under natural sunlight compared to regular perovskite BiFeO3 photocatalyst (operating under visible light). A new application of brownmillerite multiferroic KBFO photocatalyst in environmental and energy applications has been explored by integrating the structural, optical, magnetic, and dielectric properties of the same.
