A Study of the Use of Y2O3 Doped ZrO2 Membranes for Solar Electrothermal and Solarthermal Separations.
Abstract
We measured ion and (implicitly) electron hole conductivities and O2 semipermeabilities and their activation energies of commercial slip-cast Y2O3 doped ZrO2 under conditions simulating their practical application. We believe it shows promise as an O2 semipermeable membrane for ROC and electro-ROC type water splitters as well as components of devices for the gas-phase electrolytic separation of metals, Zn in this study, from their oxides. Keywords: Solar, Electrolysis, Metallurgy, Zinc, Zinc oxide, Solar thermal, Solar thermoelectrochemical, Ionic, Conductivity, Hole conductivity, Slip case, Zirconia, Vapor oxide, Oxygen, Semipermeability, Separation, Devices, Water, Splitting.
