Hjm. Bouwmeester et al., IMPORTANCE OF THE SURFACE EXCHANGE KINETICS AS RATE-LIMITING STEP IN OXYGEN PERMEATION THROUGH MIXED-CONDUCTING OXIDES, Solid state ionics, 72, 1994, pp. 185-194
Attention is drawn to the possible involvement of the surface exchange
kinetics in limiting the rate of oxygen permeation through mixed-cond
ucting oxide ceramics. A theoretical approach is provided with which i
t is possible to distinguish between surface exchange- and bulk diffus
ion controlled kinetics of oxygen permeation. New results on the oxyge
n permeability of perovskites La0.8Sr0.2CoO3-delta and SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-
delta are presented. The importance of the exchange reaction relative
to diffusion in limiting overall oxygen transport through (La,Sr) (Co,
Fe)O-3-delta perovskite-type oxides is emphasized.
