Development of Composite Ceramic Membranes for Carbon Dioxide Detection.

Porous La2MoWO9 (W-LAMOX) impregnated with a eutectic mixture of lithium, sodium, and potassium carbonate (LNKC) ceramic membranes was synthesized and evaluated for carbon dioxide (CO2) sensing applications. Structural, microstructural, and electrical characterizations were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that sintered thinner membranes, prepared by the tape casting method, exhibit faster and more reproducible responses to CO2 exposure than sintered thick pressed pellets. These findings highlight the potential of these composite membranes for application in CO2 sensing technologies.
