Dehydrogenation Coupling of Methane Using Catalyst-Loaded Proton-Conducting Perovskite Hollow Fiber Membranes.

Catalytic dehydrogenation coupling of methane (DCM) represents an effective way to convert natural gas to more useful C products (CH, CH). In this work, BaCeTbCoO (BCTCo) perovskite hollow fiber membranes were fabricated by the combined phase inversion and sintering method. SrCeYbO (SCYb) perovskite oxide was loaded as a catalyst onto the inner hollow fiber membrane surface, which promoted the CH conversion and the C hydrocarbon selectivity during the DCM reaction.
