A promising Ruddlesden–Popper oxide cathode for both proton-conducting and oxygen ionic-conducting solid oxide fuel cells

A novel Nd1.8La0.2Ni0.74Cu0.21Ga0.05O4+δ cathode is developed for a proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cell with a high peak power density of 1.264 W cm−2 at 800 °C.

A CFD study on the performance of CO2 methanation in a water-permeable membrane reactor system

A water-permeable membrane reactor is proposed to promote CO2 methanation with in situ removal of H2O. A two-dimensional CFD simulation model is built up and the effects of GHSV, H2O permeance and CO2/H2 permeation selectivity are investigated.

Synthesis and Properties of SrTiO3 Ceramic Doped with Sm2O3

The aim of this work was to study the effect of samarium oxide doping on a SrTiO₃ perovskite ceramic. After analyzing the data obtained on the morphological features of the synthesized structures, it was found that an increase in the dopant concentration led not only to a change in the morphological features, but also in the density of the ferroelectrics. Using the X-ray diffraction method, it was found that doping with Sm₂O₃ led to the formation of a multiphase system of two cubic phases of SrTiO₃ and Sm₂O₃. At the same time, an increase in the concentration of Sm₂O₃ dopant led to a change in the crystallinity degree, as well as deformation of the structure. Evaluation of the efficiency of use of synthesized ferroelectrics as catalysts for purification of aqueous media from manganese showed that an increase in the concentration of Sm₂O₃ dopant led to an increase in purification efficiency by 50–70%.
