Abstract

Mixed ionic–electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes have attracted considerable attention from the industrial and academic communities over the past 30 years. This is deemed as a next-generation technology for pure oxygen production and powerful catalytic membrane reactors with high process intensification and large energy savings. This chapter briefly presents the history of MIEC membrane and provides an introduction to membrane reactors, the permeation principle, and the types of MIEC membranes, as well as outlines the scope of this book.
