Abstract

Despite agreements like the Paris Agreement, the world continues to face rising temperatures, extreme weather, and ecosystem disruptions, driven by continued use fossil fuel, agricultural emissions, and industrial activities and leading to greenhouse gas contributing to the serious fuelling climate change. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU), particularly thermochemical carbon dioxide (CO) splitting powered by thermal energy, offers a promising solution. Perovskite-based inorganic membranes, known for their high selectivity and permeability toward various gases, efficiency, and energy-saving potential, have attracted significant interest in gas separation, production and emerged as a leading technology for carbon capture and hydrogen purification. This review explores advancements in perovskite materials, focusing on H/CO separation, CO conversion to CO, and optimal operating conditions. It addresses key questions such as improving material performance through innovations in double and composite perovskites, enhancing oxygen removal via thermochemical or electrochemical pumps, and integrating CO splitting with fuel production. These strategies aim to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and provide sustainable pathways for addressing climate change.
