To develop new chemical-energy conversion and storage systems using metal oxides, the kinetics of iron oxide (Fe2O3) reduction by humidified methane using an oxide ion conductor, CaTi1−xFexO3−δ (CTFO), as a support was analyzed. Significant improvements in Fe2O3 reduction rate and lattice oxygen utilization were observed using CTFO, which may be induced by rapid ion transport at the interface between Fe2O3 and CTFO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
