Abstract: Oxygen permeation fluxes through dense perovskite-related type Y1-xLaxBa2Cu3O7-δ(x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0) membranes were investigated by the steady state permeation method in a temperature
range from 750℃ to 1000℃. Oxygen permeation flux increases with the increase in La element substitution proportions, and increases sharply at about 875℃ due to an order-
disorder transition of the oxygen vacancies in the membrane. oxygen flux of LaBa2Cu3O7-δ(x=1.0) membrane with thickness 1.0mm reaches 1.22 μmol/s·cm2 (1.64 mL/min·cm2)
under air/He gradients at 1000℃.

Key words: perovskite-related type, oxygen permeation membrane, Y1-xLaxBa2Cu3O7-δ, oxygen flux
