High-temperature membranes for CO 2 transport and separation has attracted significant interest from academia and industries due to their potential to mitigate the emissions of CO 2 and ultimately global warming/climate change. In this study, we report a dual-phase CO 2 membrane fabricated from a porous proton conducting BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2 O 3-δ (BZY) matrix and eutectic mixture of Li 2 CO 3–Na 2 CO 3 (denoted as MC). The membrane exhibits a high CO 2 permeation flux density in the range of 550–750° C in both dry and wet conditions. Through microstructural optimization, a CO 2 flux density as high as 0.34 mL⋅ cm− 2⋅ min− 1 at 650° C and 0.53 mL⋅ cm− 2⋅ min− 1 at 750° C have been achieved with an 0.8 mm thick BZY-MC membrane containing 52% porosity and 50% CO 2–N 2 feed gas. The high flux is attributed to synergistic effects of microstructure, MC loading and high bulk conductivity of BZY. In addition, we also demonstrate the positive effect of H 2 O in the permeate side on CO 2 flux density and proposed a reasonable mechanism to explain the H 2 O-enhanced CO 2 flux density. With 3% H 2 O-added into the sweeping gas, the membrane exhibits 30% CO 2 flux density enhancement and good stability over 250 h at 650° C.
