Abstract

Oxygen storage materials with low operating temperatures have gained attraction in oxygen separation and enrichment applications. Herein, YBaCo 2O 6-x, Dy0.5Y0.5BaCo2O6-x and DyBaCo 2O 6-x are explored for low-temperature oxygen enrichment. These oxides were synthesized through solid-state reaction and the oxygen separation properties at various temperatures were studied using a home-built volumetric setup. The oxygen intake temperatures of the sample were found to vary depending upon the rare-earth cation size. The lowest absorption temperature of 523 K was observed for DyBaCo 2O 6-x. Interestingly, DyBaCo 2O 6-x had the largest saddle point radii through which oxide ion migration occurs. The effect of the synthesis method and microstructure on the oxygen holding capacity of DyBaCo 2O 6-x has also been analyzed. For this, DyBaCo 2O 6-x was synthesized through a combination of solution combustion synthesis followed by calcination and sintering at different temperatures. The particle size was found to have a profound effect on the oxygen intake of DyBaCo 2O 6-x. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
