An SDC porous layer was coated onto a BaCo0.7Fe0.2Nb0.1O3 (BCFN) mixed conductor to improve its oxygen transport behavior. The results show that the SDC-coated BCFN membrane exhibits a remarkably higher oxygen permeation flux ( J O2 ) than the uncoated BCFN in the partial oxidation of coke oven gas (COG). The maximum J O2 value of the SDC-coated BCFN is 18.28 mL·min1·cm2 under a COG/air flux of 1 1 177 mL·min /353 mL·min at 875°C when the thickness of the BCFN membrane is 1 mm; this J O2 value is 23% higher than that of the uncoated BCFN membrane. This enhancement is likely because of the higher oxygen ionic conductivity of SDC, which supplies oxygen va- cancies and accelerates oxygen exchange on the membrane/coating layer/gas three-phase boundary.
