Single phase SCFM was successfully prepared by a combined EDTA-citric method. SCFM shows a lower thermal expansion coefficient （24× 10^-6-29× 10^-6/K） than SCF between 500 and 1050 ℃, indicating a more stable structure. SCFM shows a high oxygen permeation flux, although the oxygen flux of SCFM decreases slightly because of Mo dopant. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the doping of Mo in SCF can prevent the order-disorder transition and improves the chemical stability to CO2.展开更多
