TAGGEDPABSTRACT
Perovskite oxides have substantial role in the sustainable energy delivery as reflected by their applicability
as oxygen-transporting membranes (OTMs), as electrode/electrolyte components in solid oxide fuel cells
(SOFCs), and as OTM-based reactors. These applications represent three major directions that enable the
membrane-based oxy-fuel combustion technology, the clean and efficient chemical to electrical energy con-
version, and the production of higher value-added chemicals from lower value raw materials. The attrac-
tiveness of perovskite oxides arises from the possibility to incorporate different A-site and B-site metal
elements into their ABO

compound which allows tailoring of
the oxygen non-stoichiometry (and thus the oxygen ionic conductivity), the oxygen reduction reaction
activity, and the electronic conductivity to fit a particular application. This paper reviews the basic aspects
and progresses in these three directions. The advantages and limitations of perovskites in each application
are highlighted and discussed as well as the pertaining aspects.
