Bi4Cu0.2V1.8O11-delta membrane material was synthesized by following the solid-state method. The oxygen permeation flux at 673 K was found to be 0.5 ml/cm(2) by the use of an external electric power source. The oxidation of propane was selected as the probe reaction using the Bi4Cu0.2V1.8O11-delta electrochemical membrane reactor. It was found that such electrochemical membrane reactors could have potential application in the area of alkanes selective oxidation at moderate temperatures.
