Anion-doped perovskite membranes with a hollow fiber geometry have excellent oxygen separation performance. However, during the fabrication process of hollow fiber membranes, soaking the precursor in deionized water leads to elemental dissolution, especially anion dissolution. To prevent metal and anion element dissolution, an improved one-step thermal processing approach was proposed in which saturated solutions were used as internal and external coagulation baths, effectively controlling the stoichiometric ratio.

By utilizing these membranes in membrane reactors, it is possible to combine reaction and separation processes into one unit, leading to a reduction in by-product formation and enabling the use of thermal effects to achieve efficient and sustainable chemical production. As a result, membrane reactors show great promise in the production of various chemicals and fuels.
