The overall process is enabled by an oxygen carrier that is capable of reversibly exchanging its lattice oxygen (O2−) with gaseous oxygen (O2) under varying external oxygen partial pressures (PO2). As such, further improvements of the CLOU process relies largely on the identification of oxygen carriers with higher activity, better recyclability, and improved resistance toward physical degradation. This article investigates dopant effects on CLOU properties of oxygen carriers with a CaMnO3 parent structure. Various B-site compatible metal cations including Fe, Ni, Co, V, and Al are incorporated into the perovskite. While CaMnO3 suffers from stability issues resulting from irreversible transitions to spinel (CaMn2O4) and Ruddlesden–Popper (Ca2MnO4) structures under typical CLOU redox conditions, a number of B-site doped perovskites exhibited promising phase stability and redox activity. Of the oxygen carriers investigated, Fe-doped CaMnO3 exhibits the most promising CLOU properties while showing high compatibility with the CaMnO3 parent structure. In terms of redox performance, CaMn1−xFexO3−δ exhibit notable redox activity at temperatures as low as 600 °C. No deactivation was observed over 100 redox cycles. The doped perovskite structure was also significantly more stable than undoped CaMnO3, showing no signs of decomposition at 1200 °C. When operated under identical conditions, the Fe-doped oxygen carrier is observed to achieve significantly higher conversion of Pittsburgh #8 coal char compared to undoped CaMnO3 oxygen carrier, when operated at 850 °C.}, journal={APPLIED ENERGY}, author={Galinsky, Nathan and Sendi, Marwan and Bowers, Lindsay and Li, Fanxing}, year={2016}, month={Jul}, pages={80–87} }
